Compare labels
Use the serving weights and nutrient amounts on two labels to compare the same nutrient per 100 g.
- Choose two foods and the same nutrient.
- Enter each serving weight in grams and its nutrient amount.
- Compare the nutrient per 100 g.
Comparison
Calculations stay in your browser. Compare the same nutrient and unit. Results do not determine food safety.
Practical label guides
View all guidesHow to compare food labels with different serving sizes
Work through a cereal example, convert both labels to 100 g, then calculate the amount in your own bowl.
Total sugars and added sugars: read the two lines together
Avoid double-counting sugars and compare hypothetical yogurts on an equal-weight basis with clear worked calculations.
Sodium and salt on food labels: convert before comparing
Convert milligrams of sodium to grams of salt equivalent, align serving sizes, and avoid a common imported-food comparison error.
What ingredient order tells you—and what it cannot calculate
Use two fictional recipes to see why ingredient order does not reveal exact percentages, and build a useful label-reading note.
Percent Daily Value is not the percentage of the food
Distinguish grams from %DV with a worked fibre example, then compare two labels without mixing their denominators.
A five-step check before trusting a scanned nutrition label
Use an original verification worksheet to catch unit, serving-size, column, and product mismatches before comparing a scanned label.
