The information in the main or top section (see #2-6 and #8 on the sample nutrition label below), can vary with each food product; it contains product-specific information (serving size, calories, and nutrient information). The bottom part (see #7 on the sample label below) contains a footnote with Daily Values (DVs) for 2,000 and 2,500 calorie diets. This footnote provides recommended dietary information for important nutrients, including fats, sodium and fiber. The footnote is found only on larger packages and does not change from product to product.
In the following Nutrition Facts (Food) Label we have colored coded the sections to help you focus on those specific areas that will be explained in detail. These colors are not on the food labels for products that you purchase.
