Food z?T. * / Nutrition information now on packaged meats Take a walk down today's supermarket meat counter and what do you see? Rows of neatly wrapped and packaged meat cuts. There may be as many as 300 different kinds. Each package has a label Which identifies the meat, provides the wholesale and retail name, and, of course, gives the weight and price. / The label information is helpful when making meat selections. However, many of today's shoppers want even more information on meat. They'e concerned about how many calories a meat cut might add to their daily diet. And they want to know what nutrients are in the meat they buy. This information isn't evident just by looking at a particular cut of meat in the supermarket meat case. To provide shoppers with more nutrition information on meat, an easily understandable chart has been developed for each meat cut which graphicly shows its nutrient content. Meat retailers can place these charts right at the meat counter. The complete nutrition information program is called "Meat Nutri-Facts." It was developed jointly by the National Live Stock and Meat Board, the American Meat Institute and the Food Marketing Institute. The nutrition information included on each graph includes total calories, total fat (with a breakdown of saturated, monounsaturated and p o l y u n s a t u r a t e d f a t s ) , cholesterol, sodium, protein, iron, zinc, thiamin, niacln^uid vitamin B-12. This information is based on va cooked, trimmed, three-ounce serving of each meat cut. One of the most important benefits shoppers have when using the Meat Nutri-Facts program is the direct information on calories. Because calorie information is important to consumers, it is highlighted in the Meat Nutri-Facts chart, and is listed first on the graph. Calorie comparisons on the graph are made using 2,000 calories per day as the standard. That's the midpoint of the 1,800 to 2,200 calories recommended for adult the women ages 23 to 51 by National Academy of Science.
