look at the number of servings in the package
(servings per container) and the serving size.
Pay attention to the serving size, especially how many
servings there are in the food package. For example,
you might ask yourself if you are consuming ½
serving, 1 serving, or more.

includes sugars naturally present in many
nutritious foods and beverages, such as
sugar in milk and fruit as well as any
added sugars that may be present in the

serving of the food. The Daily Values are
reference amounts (expressed in grams,
milligrams, or micrograms) of nutrients to
consume or not to exceed each day.
General Guide to %DV
5% DV or less of a nutrient per serving
is considered low
20% DV or more of a nutrient per
serving is considered high
More often, choose foods that are:
Higher in %DV for Dietary Fiber,
Vitamin D, Calcium, Iron, and
Potassium
Lower in %DV for Saturated Fat,
Sodium, and Added Sugars.
 Step 1: Look at the serving size
