食品标签是提高公众对营养饮食对健康益处的了解的重要工具。美国食品药品监督管理局 (FDA) 食品安全和应用营养中心 (CFSAN) 继续通过食品标签和包装调查 (FLAPS) 来研究食品标签。 20002001 FLAPS 的数据描述了加工包装食品标签的各个方面，包括营养标签和各种类型的标签声明。 FDA 使用来自 Information Resources Inc (IRI) 1999 超市数据库的多阶段代表性食品样本作为 FLAPS 样本的基础。最终的 FLAPS 数据库包含 1,281 种食物。据估计，每年销售的 FDA 监管的加工包装食品中，有 98.3% 带有营养标签，另外 1.7% 的产品免除了营养标签要求。食品标签上有健康声明（4.4%）、结构/功能声明（6.2%）和营养成分声明（49.7%）。除了本次调查为 CFSAN 评估食品标签上的健康和营养信息提供的资源外，注册营养师和其他健康专业人员还可以使用 FLAPS 数据来帮助消费者选择更有营养的饮食，以改善他们的健康和福祉。
The food label is an important tool for improving the public's understanding of the health benefits of following a nutritious diet. The Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has continued to study food labels with its Food Label and Package Survey (FLAPS). Data from the 20002001 FLAPS characterize various aspects of the labeling of processed, packaged foods, including nutrition labeling and various types of label claims. The FDA used a multistage, representative sample of food products from the Information Resources Inc (IRI) 1999 supermarket database as the basis for the FLAPS sample. The final FLAPS database consists of 1,281 foods. An estimated 98.3% of FDA-regulated processed, packaged foods sold annually have nutrition labels, with an additional 1.7% of products exempt from nutrition labeling requirements. Health claims (4.4%), structure/function claims (6.2%), and nutrient content claims (49.7%) were identified on food labels. In addition to the resource this survey provides to CFSAN in assessing health and nutrition information on the food label, registered dietitians and other health professionals can use FLAPS data to assist consumers in choosing a more nutritious diet to improve their health and well-being.
