Use Food Labels

  • Useful for comparing and choosing products:
    • If you have an allergy or health condition that requires you to check everything you eat
  • For children:
    • What is on the label
    • Language, math and arts skills
    • NOT about choosing only the healthiest option

Major Changes

  • No serving sizes & number of servings
  • Photos show examples, not portions
  • Combined milk & alternatives and meat & alternatives into protein foods
  • Emphasizes plant-based proteins Choose whole grains (instead of “make half your grains whole”)

eat a variety of healthy foods each day
