Knowing what goes into our bodies is an important step in being in control of our health. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires nutrition labeling for most foods with the exception of meat and poultry.

Take a look at our new Food Labels and Label Practice lessons to explore food labels and learn where to locate specific nutrition and product information. [February 18, 2008]
