Note: For discussion of "available label space" see August 18, 1993 Federal Register(58 FR 44075, comment 42).
"No footnote" as used in above table is to indicate that the footnote of 101.9(d)(9) is needed. However, the statement "Percent Daily Value (DV) is based on a 2,000 calorie diet" is required on all labels, except on foods for children under four years of age.
    The tabular display may only be used if there is not sufficient continuous space for the vertical display of the full, shortened, or simplified formats.
    The linear display may only be used if the package size and shape cannot accommodate a column display (i.e., vertical or tabular display).17

Notes: Except if the ingredient listed in the ingredient statement has an asterisk that refers to footnote (for e.g., "*adds a trivial amount of fat")
Reference Amount* = reference amount customarily consumed. "Small Reference Amount" = reference amount of 30g or less or 2 tablespoons or less (for dehydrated foods that are typically consumed when rehydrated with water or a diluent containing an insignificant amount, as defined in 101.9(f)(1) of all nutrients per reference amount, the per 50g criterion refers to the prepared form of this food). Statement "See ___panel for nutrition information" must accompany all content claims. When levels exceed: 13g Fat, 4g Saturated Fat, 60mg Cholesterol, and 480mg Sodium per reference amount, per labeled serving or, for food with small reference amounts, per 50 g, disclosure statement is required as part of claim (e.g., "See side panel for information on fat and other nutrients").

**DEFINITIONS OF NUTRIENT CONTENT CLAIMS (1/6 & 8/18/93)**
IMPLIED CLAIMS
* Claims about a food ingredient that suggests that the nutrient or ingredient are absent or present in a certain amount or claims about a food that suggests a food may be useful in maintaining healthy dietary practices and which are made with an explicit claim (e.g. "healthy, contains 3 grams of fat") are implied claims and are prohibited unless provided for in regulation by FDA. In addition, the Agency has devised a petition system whereby specific additional claims may be considered.
* Claims that a food contains or is made with an ingredient that is known to contain a particular nutrient may be made if product is "Low" in or a "Good Source" of the Nutrient associated with the claim (e.g., "good source of oath bran").
* Equivalence claims: "contains as much [nutrient] as [food" may be made if both reference food and labeled food are "Good Source" of nutrient on a per serving basis. (e.g. "Contains as much vitamin C as an 8 ounce of glass of orange juice").
* The following label statements are generally not considered implied claims unless they are made in nutrition context: 1) avoidance claims for religious, food intolerance, or other non-nutrition related reasons {e.g. "100% milk free"}; 2} statements about non-nutritive substances (e.g. "no artificial colors)' 3) added value statement (e.g. "made with real butter"); 4) statements of identity (e.g. "corn oil" or "corn oil margarine"); and 5) special dietary statements made in compliance with a specific Part 105 provision.
CLAIMS ON FOODS FOR INFANTS AND CHILDREN LESS THAN 2 YEARS OF AGE
Nutrient content claims are not permitted on foods intended specifically for infants and children less than 2 years of age except:
Claims describing the percentage of vitamins and minerals in food in relation to a Daily Value.
    Claims on infant formulas provided for in Part 107.
    The terms "Unsweetened" and "Unsalted" as taste claims.
    "Sugar Free" and "No Added Sugar" claims on dietary supplements only.**TERMS COVERED THAT ARE NOT NUTRIENT CONTENT CLAIMS**

Fresh
A raw food that has not been frozen, heat processed,or otherwise preserved
Fresh Frozen
Food was quickly frozen while still fresh

**RELATIVE (OR COMPARATIVE) CLAIMS**
* For all relative claims, percent (or fraction)_of change and identity of reference food must be declared in immediate proximity to the most prominent claim. Quantitative comparison of the amount of the nutrient in the product per labeled serving with that in the reference food must ne declared on information panel.
* For Light claims: % reduction for both fat and calories must be stated but % reduction need not be specified if product is low in the nutrient. Quantitative comparisons must be stated for both fat and calories.
