A New Approach to Your Kid's Health That Doesn't Involve a Nutrition Label
Food labels and nutritional information panels: what and where they are
Food labels are included on all food products, except for very small packets and fresh foods like fruit, vegetables and local bakery or organic products.
Nutritional information panels (NIPs) are a part of the food label. These tell you what nutrients the food contains and how much of each nutrient there is.
When you buy a packaged food product, have a look at the back of the packet. You should be able to see a box with a heading like ‘Nutritional information’. Under the heading, you’ll see categories like:
serving size
energy
protein
fat
carbohydrates
sugars
dietary fibre
sodium
