Tag: Comparative claims

According to regulatory standards, a significant percentage of consumers check food labels for nutrition information. A **nutrition content claim** is a statement that characterizes the level of a nutrient in a food, offering a quick snapshot of its nutritional value.

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a nutrient comparative claim is a statement that compares the nutrient levels of two or more foods. A classic example of a nutrient comparative claim is a food product labeled "25% less sodium than our regular potato chips," which directly contrasts the sodium content of a reformulated item against its original version.
