II. Identifying the Parts
The information in the main or top section can vary with each food product; it contains productspecific information (serving size, calories, and nutrient information). The bottom part contains
a footnote with Daily Values (DVs) for 2,000 and 2,500 calorie diets. This footnote provides
recommended dietary information for important nutrients, including fats, sodium and fiber. The
footnote is found only on larger packages and does not change from product to product.

Sodium
o Definition: a major mineral found in the fluid surrounding the cells in your body where it
helps to regulate blood pressure and fluid volume, and it also helps maintain pH
balance. Your muscles and nervous system also need sodium to function properly.
Most Americans don't get enough dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, and iron in their
diets. Eating enough of these nutrients can improve your health and help reduce the risk of
some diseases and conditions. For example, getting enough calcium may reduce the risk of
osteoporosis, a condition that results in brittle bones as one ages. Eating a diet high in dietary
fiber promotes healthy bowel function. Additionally, a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and grain
products that contain dietary fiber, particularly soluble fiber, and low in saturated fat and
cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease.
Dietary Fiber
o Definition: indigestible portion of food derived from plants.
Vitamins
o Definition: any of a group of organic compounds that are essential for normal growth
and nutrition and are required in small quantities in the diet because they cannot be
synthesized by the body.
Minerals
o Definition: Minerals are inorganic nutrients. That is, they are materials found in foods
that are essential for growth and health and do not contain the element carbon. The
minerals that are relevant to human nutrition are water, sodium, potassium, chloride,
calcium, phosphate, sulfate, magnesium, iron, copper, zinc, manganese, iodine,
selenium, and molybdenum.
