Launch New Food Label Awareness The American Heart Association joined the Food and Drug Administration and other organizations on May 9th to launch a year-long public awareness campaign to help consumers learn about the new FDA-required food label, now appearing on packaged foods. The FDA’s new food labeling regulations actually went into effect on May Bth. At that time, food manufacturers must place the new easy-to-read ‘'Nurtition Facts” label on their product packages. While not all products that appear on grocery store shelves will bear the new label in May, many products will. “The new label will make it much easier for people to choose foods that fit into a heart-healthy diet,” says Ray Henderson, M.D., American Heart Association, Indiana Affiliate president. “Shoppers will be able to quickly compare products side-by-side to find the amounts of fat, cholesterol, sodium and other nutrients in a standard serving of those products. The AHA is very excited about the new label because we’ve been so involved with the development of the food labeling regulations. "The AHA worked with a coalition of 20 health and consumer groups, urging congress to pass the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990. Then we worked with the FDA and the USDA to develop

guidelines to improve the nutrition information on food labels.” The new food label usually appears on the back or side of product packages. The label will list key ingredients, including the amounts of total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, dietary fiber, sugars and protein per serving. The label will also list total calories and the number of calories from fat. This information can help consumers limit their total fat intake to no more than 30 percent of calories per day, the AHA recommendation for heart-healthy eating. "Today, people want to cut down on fat, especially saturated fat and cholesterol, to reduce their risk of heart disease. With the new label, they can see at a glance which food products are low in fat,” said Dr. Henderson. "And people with high blood pressure who want to stay away from salty foods can find the amount of sodium in an instant. It’s good nutrition, made easy.” For consumers who need help determining what constitutes a healthy diet, the label lists the upper limit of fat, cholesterol, sodium and other nutrients you can safely have every day, if you normally eat 2,000 calories. These numbers are called daily values. For example, if your food product package lists the percentage of daily value for a total fat as 5 percent, you know you have 95 percent of your daily fat allowance still available. If the package lists the percent of daily value for total fat at 60 percent, you know you have only 40 percent of your daily allowance left. "The American Heart Association has always recommended a combination of low-fat, low-choles-terol, low-sodium foods for a heart - healthy diet,” said Dr. Henderson. "No one food will give you everything you need. There is no "magic” food out there to make you healthy. It's a combination of nutritious food choices that add up to a healthy eating style.” In addition to the new label, the FDA has standardized serving sizes to reflect the typical amounts that people actually eat. And key words such as "light”, "low-fat”, "calorie-free” and “low-sodium" have been defined by the government. To make any health claims that imply the product is good for your heart, the product must meet strick guidelines for saturated fat and cholesterol. "At the American Heart Association, we want to help people learn how to get the most from the new food label,” said Dr. Henderson. "We have a brochure called, ’How to Readd the New Food Label'! It explains the new label in detail, shows how to read it and defines product claims like 'fat-free', 'lowsodium' and ’low-cholesterol'. Contact your AHA office for the brochure as well as other information on what you can do to help prevent heart disease." The American Heart Association is the nation's largest voluntary health agency dedicated to the reduction of disability and death from heart and blood vessel diseases, which annually kill almost one million Americans. During 1993 the American Heart Association spent more than $226 million for research support, public and professional educations, and community programs. For more information on the new food label awareness and education program, contact the American Heart Association, Indiana Affiliate at (317) 876-4850 or call 1-800-AHA-USAI (1-800-242-8721).
