How do the updated data apply to nutrition labelling?
Fresh beef cuts sold at retail (without any added ingredients) are exempt from mandatory nutrition labelling. Retailers who choose to sell beef with a Nutrition Facts table must provide nutrient values on theraw product as sold. While data from the same nutrient analyses will be used for calculating the numbers for use in the Nutrition Facts tables, those values may differ from those in this resource because a different set of regulations govern the nutrition labelling of foods. For example, specific rounding rules apply to the values on Nutrition Facts tables. Thus, the nutrient data are not intended for nutrition labelling. See the2003 Guide to Food Labelling and Advertising for labelling regulations.
