built 183 days ago
The final rule ... clarifies trans fat labeling requirements for the voluntary nutrition labeling of raw fruits and vegetables and fish. When nutrition information is provided for more than one raw fruit or vegetable, the listing of saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol may be omitted if the following footnote is used: "Most fruits and vegetables provide negligible amounts of saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol * * *." See new section 101.45(a)(3)(iii).

The new labels feature a standard nutrition information label and a new icon and bar chart that provides information on a menu item’s nutrition value and how it relates to daily nutrient guidelines. McDonald's says, "the icons represent the five elements that experts agree are most relevant to consumer understanding of nutrition – calories, protein, fat, carbohydrates and salt (sodium)."

The nutrition information provided on a label is given for a typical serving size of the product. It is important to note the serving size so that you can compare it to the amount of the food that you usually eat within one sitting. This will then allow you to make adjustments depending on whether you consume more or less of the food product in question.

There is less nutrition information on labels regulated by USDA. USDA labels list only the serving size; servings per container; calories per serving; and grams of protein, carbohydrate and fat per serving.
