Food labels do not list nucleic acids because they are not considered nutrients that contribute directly to dietary energy or health in the same way that carbohydrates, fats, and proteins do. Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, are present in all living cells but are typically broken down during digestion into their constituent nucleotides, which are then utilized by the body. Additionally, current food labeling regulations focus on macronutrients and certain vitamins and minerals that have established dietary guidelines.
