Nutrition Labelling Education Background

Key Messages to Guide Nutrition Labelling Education
The starting point of the education initiative is four key messages. The key messages are designed to make consumers aware of the new nutrition information on food labels and draw attention to two important elements of the Nutrition Facts box - serving size and % Daily Value. Educators and health professionals will be encouraged to use these messages as starting points for introducing the new nutrition information on food labels to consumers and teaching about how it can support healthy eating choices.
