This product is considered “low-fat.” Regulated by the FDA, a low-fat product is 3g or less per reference amount or 1.8g for small servings.

Understand Nutrition Claims for Small Servings:  The 3 grams of fat limit is for foods with a 50 gram RACC (reference amount customarily consumed).  The RACC for a particular food or food group is set by the FDA, and it is based on how much of that food is typically consumed by a person in one sitting. Food manufacturers use the RACC to determine the serving size of their products. Some foods have a small RACC according to FDA defined at less than or equal to 30 grams or 2 Tbsp. In these cases, the low fat claim and a number of other claims (low calorie, low sodium, etc) must be calculated to reflect the smaller size. A sample calculation for low fat is:

3 grams (low fat claim) per 50 grams of food.
3 grams/50 grams = .06
.06 x 30 grams (FDA defined RACC for chips) = 1.8 grams of fat. 

Therefore, in order to make a low-fat claim on a RACC of chips (30 grams) the chips must have 1.8 grams of fat or less per serving.

It is recommended to consume no more than 2,400mg of sodium each day.

The nutrition facts panel is based on a 2000 calorie diet and the daily value for fiber is 25 grams/day.

Sugars are naturally occurring in most foods, but added sugars are considered discretionary calories because they contain few essential nutrients. The dietary guidelines define added sugars as sugars and syrups that are added to foods during preparation or processing. There is no defined recommendation, but look for products with lower amounts.

It is recommended that 10-35% of total calories come from protein. Protein has 4 calories per gram.  To calculate calories from protein take the grams of protein multiplied by 4 calories/gram.  Example is 2g protein * 4 calories per gram = 8 calories from protein.

These numbers tell how much of the Daily Value (DV) you are getting in one serving. The DV is a pre-set value that is the same for all adults and is based on government recommendations, so these percentages reflect a percent of the amount you need each day. Vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, and iron are all required on the nutrition facts panel, and all the other vitamin and minerals are listed voluntarily.
