USDA fish nutrition information poster available on-line

Tor-Eddie Fossbakk The website also includes a poster that lists nutrition information for fish, which has been cooked by moist or dry heat with no added ingredients. FDA is providing these posters to encourage retail stores that sell raw fruits, vegetables, and fish to participate in a voluntary point-of-purchase nutrition information program. Retail store operators can download the posters and print them for display to consumers in proximity to the relevant foods in the stores and for dissemination to consumers. FDA encourages consumers to use the posters to help plan a healthy diet and learn about the important nutrients contained in fruits, vegetables and fish. Federal dietary guidelines recommend two cups of fruit and 2 1/2 cups of vegetable per day for a recommended 2,000 calories intake, with higher or lower amounts depending on the calorie level. In addition to protein, fish contributes polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats to the diet. For copies of the posters, go to: http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/nutinfo.html
