There will be significant changes on labels of packaged foods in the next few months, resulting from a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) program to make food labeling more informative as an aid to better nutrition. Nutrition labeling for most foods is voluntary. If products are fortified by adding a nutrient or if a nutritional claim is made in labeling or advertising, the product label is required to nave full nutritional labeling. Nutritional claims include any reference to protein, fat, carbohydrates, calories, vitamins, minerals or use in dieting. Examples of products of enriched or fortified foods that now must have full nutritional labeling include enriched bread and flour, fortified milk, fortified fruit juices and diet foods. Standard format The nutritional information must appear in a standard format. The following information must be given in order: NUTRITION INFORMATION PER SERVING 1. Serving Size 2. Servings Per Container 3. Caloric Content 4. Protein Content 5. Carbohydrate Content 6. Fat Content 7. Percentage of U.S. Recommended Dietary allowances of protein, vitamins and minerals Listing for fat may be broken down to give amounts of cholesterol, polyunsaturated fats, saturated fats and other fatty acids. This information is given specifically for individuals ordered by a doctor to follow a fat modified diet, but the information is useful for anyone who is interested and concerned about the amounts and types of fat they are consuming. Seven vitamins and minerals must be listed. These include vitamin A, vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, calcium and iron. The vitamins and minerals must'always be listed in the same order to allow easier comparison of products. Vitamins and minerals are listed as a percentage of the U.S. recommended dietary allowances (R.D.A.) as established by the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council. The R.D.A. replaces the "minimum" requirements previously used for labeling with "recommended" amounts of nutrients to be eaten daily. An additional 12 vitamins and minerals and sodium may also be listed. sharon johnson sauces and pickles Nutritional panel Here is an example of a fanel of nutritional information that might appear on canned goods at grocery stores.

Union to present futuristic 'Erf As part of its "Todav & Tomorrow" symposium on the future, the Union Program Council will present Erf, starring Rob Inglis, Friday night in the Centennial Room of the Nebraska Union. Set in the 21st century, with mankind reduced to a primitive existence, Erfs action begins when the members of a small tribal community, played by the audience itself, discover a font of computerised wisdom buried in the 20th century by a well-intentioned mayor. With the help of the computer, they rise up from their fear-tinged respect for nature, only to embark again on the path to chaos that led to mankind's reduction to a tribal state in the first place. Inglis portrays the title character, possessed oi a conscience and tree wi Nature by exploiting her gifts, Erf finally rebels as he realizes that man himself is a part of nature, and in exploiting can only be working against himself. In the conclusion, he expresses his joy at this discovery through a wild, abandoned dance of positivity, "The Life Force Frug." Of Erf, the Australian National Times said: "Inglis puts in a rollicking rumbustious performance that combines elements of Topol, Li'l Abner and Anthony Quinn without a whiff of pastiche. . .Paul Erlich and Ralph Nader would applaud its vigor and conviction, along with the citizens. It would do our politicians good to see it." will be presented under the auspices of the Union Contemporary Arts Committee at 8 p.m. in the Union Centennial Room. Admission fee is $1.
