Información nutricional

Fuentes alimenticias:

En los Estados Unidos, el gobierno exige colocar etiquetas a la mayoría de los alimentos empacados, para ofrecer información nutricional completa, útil y precisa. El gobierno estimula a las compañías que producen alimentos para que mejoren la calidad de sus productos ayuden al consumidor a escoger alimentos más saludables. Ellos suministran un formato homogéneo que permite comparar directamente los contenidos nutricionales de varios productos. Las etiquetas de los alimentos tienen el título de "Información nutricional" (Nutrition Facts ).
