The nutrition facts panel contains nutrient information that is required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
<h3>Why does the FDA require nutrient information?</h3>
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is in charge of making sure that Americans in general are able to be sure of the foods they are eating before they eat it.
One way the FDA carries out this mission is by requiring that nutritional facts are printed as a nutrition facts panel. This ensures that people are able to see the nutrients a certain food gives them.
