Nutrition facts and the ingredients list appear on almost every packaged food in the food market. Labels are not legally required on fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, poultry, and seafood, but these foods may be labeled voluntarily with nutrition information, either on the package or on a poster or a pamphlet displayed nearby.
