In this presentation you will learn how to read and understand a nutrition facts label
本講你將了解如何閱讀理解營養(yǎng)標簽
this slide shows an example of the nutrition facts label for a box of macaroni and cheese.
這張課件顯示的是一張通心粉奶酪盒子上的營養(yǎng)標簽
The US food and drug administration dictates that
美國食品及藥物管理局規(guī)定
food labeling is required for most prepared foods such as breads, cereals, canned and frozen foods,
大多數(shù)預(yù)加工食品,如各種面包,谷類食品,灌裝及冷凍食品
snacks, deserts, drinks and many more.
小吃,點心,飲料等都需要提供食品標簽
However nutrition labeling for raw produce such as fruits and vegetables and fish is voluntary.
然而未加工產(chǎn)品如蔬菜水果魚等營養(yǎng)標簽則不是必須的
Dietary supplements and vitamins have separate labeling requirements
食物強化劑和維生素都需要營養(yǎng)標簽
and will not carry a nutrition facts label that looks like the one you see here.
但并不是你在這里看到的這種營養(yǎng)標簽
Nutrition facts labels will all have the same format with several sections as those outlined here.
營養(yǎng)標簽與這里展示的這幾部分格式相同
Next we will discuss the different sections of a food label.
下面我們就討論一下食物標簽的不同部分
But you should know that each nutrition facts label
但是你應(yīng)該知道每種營養(yǎng)標簽
has specific information about the food product on which it is labeled.
都提供了其標注食物的特定信息
You can think of a food label as having six sections
你能夠想到食物標簽包含六部分
serving size, calories, two sections for nutrients, a footnote and a percent daily value.
食用分量,熱量,兩部分營養(yǎng)物質(zhì),補充說明和每日攝入百分比
On the next slide you will see the food label with each of these sections.
下張課件你將看到食品標簽的這些部分
The serving size is at the top of the label and is in a green color.
位于標簽最頂部的綠色區(qū)域是食用分量
Calories are shown just below the serving size at the top of the label
熱量一欄僅位于最頂端的食用分量下邊
and in our example will be in a white coulour.
在此例中為白色區(qū)域
Both sections of the nutrients are below the calories and in our example are highlighted in yellow and blue.
兩欄營養(yǎng)物質(zhì)都在熱量欄下面,即例中的黃色和藍色區(qū)域
The footnote is located at the bottom of the food label in white
補充說明位于食品標簽最底部的白色區(qū)域
and the percent daily values are given on the far right of the column and highlighted in purple on our example.
而每日攝入百分比則在該欄的最右側(cè),即例子中的紫色區(qū)域
You should note that
你應(yīng)該已發(fā)現(xiàn)
food labels on products are only displayed in black and white with no colours.
商品的食物標簽只有黑白色
Here you can see the six sections pointed out on the previous slide
這里你可以看到上張課件中講到的食物標簽六部分
serving size at the top in green calories
最頂部的綠色區(qū)域是食用分量
just below the serving size in white,
下面的白色區(qū)域表示熱量
two sections for nutrients in yellow and blue a footnote in white at the bottom
營養(yǎng)成分的兩部分分別為黃色和藍色,最下邊的白色部分是補充說明
and the percent daily value on the right hand side highlighted in purple.
而右手邊的紫色區(qū)域是每日攝入百分比
