Question

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Product-specific information

2. Footnote with daily values

Explanation:

The objective of the “Nutrition Facts” label is to provide information that enables the consumers to have healthy eating habits, and also to improve the nutritional value of the foods. The Nutrition Facts information is required by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). This label can be divided into two parts: 1- product-specific information, which includes calories, serving size, and nutrient information, and 2- footnote with daily values for 2,000-2,500 calorie diets, which indicates the percentage of each nutrient in a single serving.
