Most of us like to check the nutrition label of food or drinks before buying them, to determine the fat content. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determines how information is to be presented on these labels.
Many people will opt for 'light' or 'fat-free' food, believing that it contains less fat. The FDA directs that food can be given a 'light' label if it contains a reduced amount of a particular constituent, such as fat, calories, cholesterol, sodium etc., as compared to a 'reference' food.
The reference food could be the average of the top 3 brands in that food category.
If the reference food derives more than 50% of calories from fat, then the light food must have 50% reduced fat.
If the reference food gets less than 50% calories from fat, the light food should have calories reduced by one-third.
For foods with modified sodium content, the light version should be reduced in sodium by at least 50%.
The FDA also allows the terms 'reduced' or 'fewer' to be used if the product contains at least 25% less of fat, calories or sodium as compared to the reference food.
