nutrient claims

Nutrient claims are statements on food packaging that highlight the presence or absence of specific nutrients, such as "low fat," "high in fiber," or "contains added vitamins." These claims are regulated to ensure they accurately reflect the product’s nutritional content. They help consumers make informed choices by emphasizing certain health-related aspects of a food item, but they don’t provide a complete nutritional picture. Always check the nutrition facts panel for detailed information about the overall nutritional profile.
