Talk:Nutritional facts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think an infobox should be designed for nutritional information on alot of products available on Wikipedia. Feedback anybody? --Ahmed 18:51, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] how are they tested?

can someone add information as to how the numbers/quantities are tested? are they done in a FDA-certified lab?

[edit] What is the rest of it?

If the fat, protein, carbohydrates, fibre, sodium, potassium, etc.. (Everything on the label) adds up to waaay less than the total mass of the serving size, what's the rest made of?

Maybe the vitamins and minerals can account for at least part of that. A definitive answer would be much appreciated though. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 165.123.207.187 (talk • contribs) 06:12, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article title

Anyone else think nutritional facts is a poor title for this article? It sounds like you can get sustenance by consuming these facts (as opposed to those non-nutritional facts). I'd think Nutrition Facts (using the standard U.S. label), or nutrition facts label, or nutritional information panel would all be better alternatives. -R. S. Shaw 22:56, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

The article on Food energy essentially has the same content. Perhaps the two articles could be merged and rewritten. - J Raghu 16:08, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
