"Nutritional information" refers to the information provided about the nutrients of packaged food. It's on the food label, and it tells you what nutrients are in the food and how much of each nutrient. It's important because it can show you key nutrients that can affect your health, such as added sugar and sodium content. Ex: Since I have diabetes, I usually have to check the nutritional information on food labels for sugar content. Ex: I've been trying to cut down on fat. How much fat is in that bar?
