Best Answer

A nutritional label is the label found usually on the side or back of a product or the product's box. (It is like a long rectangualr vertical box with parts sectioned off.) At the top, it will say the serving size and how many servings the product contains, followed by the calories and calories from fat. After that, it will give a list of percents of certain vitamins, carbs, sodium, ect. that it contains. (All of these percents are based out of a 2000 calories diet.) Along the bottom it should list the ingredients, in order from the highest amounts used to the lowest amounts used in the product. Have sometimes the nutritional label will have false informaton, so don't always trust the nutritional label!!!
