Nutrition labeling of foods is required by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), under the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990—which identifies the nutrients that must be listed on food labels, other ingredients that may be listed, health claims, and standard portion sizes. The Act also defines terminology commonly used on labels such as light, low fat, and sodium free. The nutrition information on food labels can be found in several locations—the nutrition facts panel, the ingredients list, and other areas of the label where health claims may be displayed. As a consumer with diabetes, skill at reading food labels and recognizing the nutrient content of foods may benefit your blood glucose control.
