Book Description
Excerpt from Principles of Nutrition and Nutritive Value of Food Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith an article on Principles of Nutrition and Nutritive Value of Food, by Prof. W. O. Atwater, special agent in charge of nutrition investigations, prepared in accordance with instructions given by the Director of this Office. For a number of years the Department has carried on studies regarding the kinds and amounts of foods consumed by persons of different occupations and with different incomes, the composition of food, the relative cost of nutrients when furnished by different foods, and many more technical questions. The present bulletin discusses the general principles of nutrition, as well as a number of the more important phases of the subject, with special reference to the results obtained in Department investigations and the closely related work of the agricultural experiment stations. As the work has progressed the earlier ideas have been modified, and the present bulletin is designed to supplement and replace earlier Department publications by the author having a similar scope. In preparing this bulletin Professor Atwater has had the assistance of Miss Helen W. Atwater. The first edition of this bulletin was published several years ago. In preparing this edition for publication a number of changes which seemed desirable have been made. It is believed that the article is a useful summary of available information on the subject, and its publication as a Farmers' Bulletin is therefore recommended.

Front-of-Package Nutrition Rating Systems and Symbols
Author: Institute of Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309218233
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
During the past decade, tremendous growth has occurred in the use of nutrition symbols and rating systems designed to summarize key nutritional aspects and characteristics of food products. These symbols and the systems that underlie them have become known as front-of-package (FOP) nutrition rating systems and symbols, even though the symbols themselves can be found anywhere on the front of a food package or on a retail shelf tag. Though not regulated and inconsistent in format, content, and criteria, FOP systems and symbols have the potential to provide useful guidance to consumers as well as maximize effectiveness. As a result, Congress directed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to undertake a study with the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to examine and provide recommendations regarding FOP nutrition rating systems and symbols. The study was completed in two phases. Phase I focused primarily on the nutrition criteria underlying FOP systems. Phase II builds on the results of Phase I while focusing on aspects related to consumer understanding and behavior related to the development of a standardized FOP system. Front-of-Package Nutrition Rating Systems and Symbols focuses on Phase II of the study. The report addresses the potential benefits of a single, standardized front-label food guidance system regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, assesses which icons are most effective with consumer audiences, and considers the systems/icons that best promote health and how to maximize their use.
