How to Read Food labels

From the product labels, information about the contents of the food is written —
named as Nutrition Facts and Ingredients.

The Nutrition Facts is a list of the different

nutrients provided by the food product with
their corresponding percentage share on the
daily recommended dietary allowance. Refer
to the figure on the left.

On the other hand, Ingredients give

you a list of the materials that have
been added to make the food
product. These materials are the
sources of the nutrients. These are
the ones that are taken in by the
body.
