Reading Product Labels
As you know, many of the food products you buy have a special label listing the “Nutrition Facts” for a serving of their product. If you read the labels closely, you can pick up important information that can help you purchase the product that’s right for you.
Look at the “Nutrition Facts” for milk. Can you find an answer to each of the following questions?
- How many calories are in each serving?
- How much fat does each serving contain?
- What percentage of your daily need of calcium is included?
- How much protein is contained in each serving?
