                                                   The Nutrition Facts table gives you information on a food product’s total calories 
                                                   and 13 core nutrients. 
                                                   All of the calorie and nutrient information is based on a specific amount of food. 
                                                   This amount can be found at the top of the Nutrition Facts table. Use this and 
                                                   the % Daily Value (% DV) to choose and compare food products for a healthier 
                                                   you. 
                                                   The % DV is a tool to help you see if a specific amount of food has a little or a 
                                                   lot of a nutrient, such as fat or calcium. The % DV is found on the right-hand 
                                                   side of the Nutrition Facts table. 
                                                   Here’s how to use the % DV:

                    • Fat               • Fibre

        Here is an example of how to choose:
        You are at the grocery store looking at yogurt. The small container 
        (175 g) of yogurt you pick has a little fat (4% DV) and a lot of 
        calcium (17% DV) – this is a better choice if you are trying to eat 
        less fat and more calcium as part of a healthy lifestyle!

          Since you are comparing crackers, you may want to look at the 
          % DVs for saturated and trans fats, sodium and fibre.                                                     Did you know? 
                                                                                                                    You may be able to compare products 
          Cracker A has 13% DV for saturated and trans fats,                                                        that don’t have similar amounts of 
          12% DV for sodium and 4% DV for fibre.                                                                    food. 
          Cracker B has 2% DV for saturated and trans fats,                                                         For example, you could compare the 
          4% DV for sodium and 12% DV for fibre.                                                                    % DVs of a bagel (90 g) to the % DVs 
                                                                                                                    of 2 slices of bread (70 g) because 
          Remember: 5% DV or less is a little and 15% DV or more is a lot.                                          you would most likely eat either 
          This applies to all nutrients.                                                                            amount of food at one meal.
            3 CHOOSE 
          In this case, Cracker B would be a better choice if you are trying to 
          eat less saturated and trans fats, less sodium and more fibre as part 
          of a healthy lifestyle.
          Use the Nutrition Facts table and Eating Well with Canada’s Food Guide 
          to make healthier food choices.
