July 11, National Blueberry Muffin Day The Food Label Detective: Otis Spunkmeyer Wild Blueberry Muffin

Can You Eat Just Half a Muffin?

*FDA 21 CFR 101.9 Nutrition labeling of food. (http://bit.ly/29vdc90). FDA regulation allows manufacturers to round number of servings to the nearest 0.5 serving, as long as they use the term “about”. Serving size is based on RACC = Reference Amount Customarily Consumed per Eating Occasion.

 Most people assume one muffin is one serving.

As packaged foods get larger, so does the number of servings.

Read the label - Don't overeat.

The label can be misleading, but it is within the FDA Guidelines.*
