First I'll explain some things about the new labels: Check the serving size; if you eat twice as much at a serving, you'll have to adjust the nutrient values. The saturated fat is now listed, because that is the kind of fat that raises your cholesterol! As for cholesterol - less than 300 mg. a day is the rule. Fat - 65 mg. a day if you eat about 2000 calories. Sodium? 2,400 - 3000 mg. a day. There are key words on your food labels that are now STRICTLY defined. If your product says: Fat Free Low Fat Lean It means: Less than 0.5g of fate per serving 3g of fat (or less) Less than 10g of fat, 4g of saturated fat, and 95mg of cholesterol
Light (Lite) ⅓ less calories or no more than ½ the fat of the higher calorie, higher fat version; or no more than ½ the sodium of the higher sodium version Cholesterol Free Less than 2mg of cholesterol and 2g or less of saturated fat per serving Shared by: Suzze Tiernan, Oct/94.
