This video will teach kids how to read a nutrition label in 5 steps.

Specifically, we walk through the US Nutrition Facts label, including details like what are serving sizes, where to find important nutrition information, how many calories, protein, fat, fiber and vitamins and minerals are in one serving, and identifying natural vs. added sugar. Plus, we review how to compare two foods using the nutrition facts label.
