UNIVERSITY PARK (Centre
Co.) By May 8, most packaged
foods will have a new nutrition
label called Nutrition Facts. Ver
sions of the neW label also can be
found on foods for infants and
toddlers.
“Foods for children 4 years old
and younger have a special label,”
says Dr. J. Lynne Brown, associ
ate professor of food science in
Penn State’s College of Agricul
tural Sciences. ‘There also is a
new label for infant foods.”
The toddler label shows the
serving size, servings per contain
er (unless it’s a single-serving
container), total calories, calories
from fat and all required nutrient
amounts. “However, the Percent
Daily Value for the major nutri
ents, the daily value table and the
caloric conversion footnote are
not listed as they are on the label
for adults and children over age
4,” says Brown. ‘Toddlers have

Percentages listed for the vita
mins and minerals on the toddler
label are based on the amounts
recommended for children less
than 4 years old. “Parents of child
ren under 4 should be more con
cerned about providing enough
calories for growth and less con
cerned about restricting fat, satur
ated fat, and cholesterol in their
child’s diet,” says Brown.
The label that will appear on
foods for infants (children less
than 2 years old) lists the serving
size and servings per container

nutrients. “Only these 10 nutrients
are allowed on the label,” says

4-H Livestock Club
Due to snow, the January and February meetings were both
held in February.
The January meeting was held Thursday, Feb. 3 at 7:30
p.m. New officers are Jeremy Dobbin, president; Doug Rein
ert, vice president; Adam Oman, secretary: and Kristen Bru
baker, news reporter.
At the February meeting the club collected sponsors’ dona
tions. At the next meeting the club will be learning about live
stock judging.
On Monday, March 7, the club met at Mt. Laurel Church of
God at 7 p.m. The club held a party at Chuck E. Cheese for all
those in the club who helped out with the sub sale fund raiser.
The next sub sale will be this month to help defray the cost
of. the Washington D.C. trip planned in the fall.
The club discussed the grooming and showmanship clinic
on Saturday, March 12, and encouraged all to participate. The
club also went over the training show in May and all the
changes and rules.
The new business included the next “Movie Night” for Fri
day, March’23; the Driving and Gymkana Clinics in June;
Saddle Log Buddy System; and the judging teams that will be
practicing in ElizabethviUe.
The members also showed an interest in going to the Equi-
Fair at the Farm Show Complex on Saturday, March 26, as a
group. The club had sharing time with a lot of interesting
“snow stories”; three demonstrations: Holly White showing
the different parts of a horse, Emily Ivanoff showing the dif
ferent colors of horses, and Monica Yergo with the different
bones of the horses leg and having a silly quiz after. The club
enjoyed snacks afterward and a short horse bowl presided
over by Marissa Acri.
The next meeting will be on Monday, April 4, at 7 p.m. at
the Mt. Laurel Church of God.
grams of cholesterol.
“There are no Percent Daily
Values established for infants for
the major nutrients, so none can be
declared. The percentages for
minerals and vitamins are based
on values recommended for
infants.”
Brown recommends keeping
these differences in mind as you
shop for infant and toddler foods.
“You still can compare the
amount of the nutrients listed for
two similar foods,” says Brown.
“For instance, you can compare
the amount of sodium in two
brands of vegetables prepared for
infants. You also can compare the
daily value of vitamins or miner
als provided by a serving of two
kinds of foods.”
If you’re concerned about your
toddler’s iron intake, compare the
daily value of iron, and choose the
one with the larger percentage,
other contents being equal. Use a
similar comparison for vitamins A
and C to help you choose the most
appropriate fruits and vegetables.
“Add up the Percent Daily Val
ue of a vitamin or mineral from
the labels on the foods eaten by
your child in a day,” says Brown.
“If the sum is close to 100 percent,
your child has eaten the recom
mended amount for that day.”
