FDA nutrition posters now available
online.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Center for Food
Safety and Applied Nutrition announced that it has posted on its Web
site downloadable and printable posters of nutrition information for the
20 most frequently consumed raw fruits and vegetables in the United
States. Anyone can download the information and posters including
growers, consumers and retailers. FDA is encouraging retailers who sell
raw fruits and vegetables to use these posters and participate in the
voluntary point-of-purchase nutrition information program. The list of
food items with nutrition information reflects the updates published in
the Federal Register of August 17, 2006 (71 FR 47439).
