Nutrition analysis became an essential part of most food labels after enactment of the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act. In 1994 the nutrient content label was changed to Nutrition Facts. Nutrition analysis determines the quantity and type of nutrients in a food. A food's nutrient content is analyzed by proximate analysis. Proximate or chemical analysis measures carbohydrate, fat, and protein content of a known quantity of food. Results are entered in a nutrient database which is used to generate Nutrition Facts labels. Professional organizations such as the Association of Official Analytic Chemists (AOAC) publish official methods of proximate analysis.
