01 / NUTRITION

Read the amounts,
not just the promises.

Compare similar foods on the same serving or weight basis. Look at added sugars, sodium and saturated fat alongside fiber and the rest of your diet.

Make the label useful

The FDA’s general guide: 5% Daily Value or less per serving is low; 20% or more is high. Use the labeled serving size and consider how much you actually eat.

Total sugars and added sugars are different. A blank field is not a zero.

02 / INGREDIENTS

Know what goes
into your food.

Read the ingredient list with the nutrition label. Whole grains, legumes, vegetables, fruit and nuts can contribute to a varied eating pattern.

Look beyond a short ingredient list

Ingredient order is not an exact quantity. A short list or an unfamiliar name alone does not tell you how a food affects health. Open an ingredient for its role and available research.

The overall food, amount and frequency matter.

03 / ORGANIC & CERTIFICATION

Organic words.
Specific standards.

Look for the exact organic claim and its certifier. A source saying “organic” and a current, confirmed certification are different levels of support.

Understand the U.S. organic labels
100% organic
All ingredients are organic, excluding salt and water.
Organic
At least 95% organic ingredients, excluding salt and water; the remainder must meet the program’s rules.
Made with organic…
At least 70% organic ingredients, with additional restrictions. This category cannot use the USDA organic seal.

Organic describes production standards. Read the nutrition label too; the claim alone does not establish that a food is the healthiest choice for you.

04 / GRASS-FED & HOW IT WAS RAISED

Check the feed.
Check the full claim.

Read the exact feeding statement and the standard behind it. Check whether the records cover the finishing period and the product you are buying.

Grass-fed, grass-finished and organic

USDA’s small-producer grass-fed program uses a grass-and-forage diet standard, with milk allowed before weaning. A grass-finished statement addresses finishing; inspect the earlier feeding history separately.

Organic and grass-fed are separate attributes. Organic livestock rules include pasture requirements but do not mean an exclusively grass-fed diet. Neither label establishes the product’s nutrient amounts or individual health effects.

05 / PROCESSING & PRODUCTION

See how the food
was made.

Explore available processing, added-solution and preparation details. Check how these relate to the actual ingredients and nutrient amounts.

Put production claims in context

Air-chilled, retained water and added solution describe different facts. Liquid in a meat package does not by itself establish that a solution was injected. Check the label’s ingredients and sodium amount.

“Natural,” non-GMO and organic are not interchangeable. A production claim does not replace a nutrition comparison.

06 / YOUR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS

A good profile
still needs to fit you.

Check the current package for allergens and your dietary requirements. A favorable nutrition score cannot establish that a food is suitable for your allergy or medical needs.

Check every time you buy

Recipes and labels can change. Read the ingredient list, allergen statement and any cross-contact information on the package. Missing information does not establish an allergen-free product.

Use qualified clinical guidance for a condition-specific diet.

PUT IT INTO PRACTICE

Your next choice starts with a label.

Scan an exact product, explore its facts, then compare it with a similar food.
