A nutrition facts table (NFACTS table) is present on most packaged products and contains information about 13 specific nutrients. When comparing 2 similar products while looking at the NFACTS table, compare key ingredients such as trans fats, saturated fats, cholesterol, sodium (salt), and sugar. Try to choose foods lower in these ingredients. Be sure to take a look at the serving size too, as these amounts can differ between products.
