nutrition facts
Dietary content label
Nutrition facts are the standardized information about a food's nutritional content, typically displayed on packaging in a labeled panel.
The format lists serving size, calories, and amounts of nutrients like fat, sodium, carbohydrates, and protein: I checked the nutrition facts before buying the cereal.
Required by law on most packaged foods in many countries.
