Compare Packaged Foods in Five Label Steps

When comparing two similar packaged foods, start with the serving size and servings per container because every calorie and nutrient value on the label refers to that amount. Then compare calories per serving and use Percent Daily Value on the same serving basis. The FDA’s general guide treats 5% Daily Value or less as low and 20% or more as high. Choose the nutrients that matter for your overall eating pattern and health needs. Many people may look for more dietary fiber and less sodium, saturated fat, or added sugar, but the right comparison depends on the food, the rest of the day, allergies, medical advice, cost, taste, and culture. A labeled serving size describes an amount typically consumed; it is not a personal portion prescription.

Its placement is contextual, does not prove effectiveness, and reading food labels does not require a supplement.
