Knowing how to read nutritional labels can help you to make good food choices while doing your grocery shopping and comparing different brands.
There are three columns on a nutritional label:
Column 1 - lists the nutrient type
Column 2 - lists the quantity of that nutrient per 100g
Column 3 - lists the quantity of that nutrient per the suggested serving size
