Eat the Real Food<br />
Products containing less than 5 g of fat show<br />
amounts rounded to the nearest 0.5 g. Amounts<br />
less than 0.5 g are rounded to 0 g. For example,<br />
if a product contains 0.45 g of trans fat per serving,<br />
and the package contains 18 servings, the<br />
label would show 0 g of trans fat, even though<br />
the product actually contains a total of 8.1 g of<br />
trans fat.<br />
In addition to the nutrition label, products may<br />
display certain nutrition information or health<br />
claims on packaging. These health claims are<br />
only allowed by the FDA for "eight diet and<br />
health relationships based on proven scientific<br />
evidence", including: calcium and osteoporosis,<br />
fiber-containing grain products, fruits and vegetables<br />
and cancer, fruits, vegetables, and grain<br />
products that contain fiber—particularly soluble<br />
fiber—and the risk of coronary heart disease, fat<br />
and cancer, saturated fat and cholesterol and<br />
coronary heart disease, sodium and hypertension,<br />
and folate and neural tube defects. [24] The<br />
Institute of Medicine recommended these labels<br />
contain the most useful nutritional information<br />
for consumers: saturated fats, trans fats, sodium,<br />
calories, and serving size. [25] In January<br />
2011, food manufacturers and grocery stores<br />
announced plans to display some of this nutrition<br />
information on processed food. [26]<br />
The nutrition facts label currently appears on<br />
more than 6.5 billion food packages. President<br />
Bill Clinton issued an award of design excellence<br />
for the nutrition facts label in 1997<br />
to Burkey Belser in Washington, DC. [27]<br />
