FDA Updates Nutrition Facts Label to Help Consumers Monitor Sodium Intake
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has updated the Nutrition Facts label for packaged foods to provide clearer information about sodium content. Over 70% of dietary sodium comes from packaged and prepared foods, contributing to health issues like high blood pressure. Consumers can use the label’s Daily Value (DV) for sodium to make informed food choices and manage their sodium intake. Specific food categories, such as deli meat sandwiches and pizza, contribute to a significant portion of sodium consumption. By being mindful of their food choices, consumers can take proactive steps to reduce their sodium intake and make healthier dietary decisions.
