Facts Up Front is a labeling system that provides key nutrition information on the front of food and beverage packages.  The easy-to-read label helps you make more informed choices about what foods to buy and feed you and your family.  Helps you shop healthier/smarter.

The Facts Up Front label shows calories per serving and information on three nutrients to limit in your diet: saturated fat, sodium and sugar. Labels may also have information on one or two nutrients that Americans need to get more of as part of a healthy diet. These “encouraged” nutrients will only appear on a package if the product contains 10 percent or more of the daily value per serving of the nutrient and meets the FDA requirements for a “good source.”
