What are the potential benefits to consumers of nutrient
content claims or health claims on food labels?
The consumer can have some confidence that the health
claims are based on scientific evidence that what the
manufacturers are stating is true, and that the nutrient
content claims are reflective of how much of a given nutrient
is contained in the item. This may help consumers decide
whether or not they should include the food item in their
particular diets.
