Not sure what our nutrition labels mean? Here's a guide to a typical nutrition facts label. Some information is subject to change based on the type of product.
Please note: Due to Nutrition Facts label changes from the FDA, the labels will appear different from what you may be used to seeing. This change will be implemented on all Nutrition Facts labels by 2018. These changes include larger/bolder font, added sugar amount and updated daily values and nutrient amounts.
1. This indicates how many servings are in the container.

3.The calories show the total number of calories in one serving.
4. The daily values are the per-serving percentages of the recommended daily intake established by the FDA as the amount the average American needs to maintain good health. Daily values have been established for the majority of vitamins and minerals. Nutrients with no percentage or an asterisk in this column do not have an established daily value.
