Making Nutritious Choices
with MyPyramid
To help you make more balanced decisions with every meal, Start Making Choices™ offers a Nutrition Planner based on the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) MyPyramid. With our new labeling system (beginning in May 2008), meeting your recommended daily amounts of grains, dairy, meat, fruit, and vegetables just got easier.
Look for MyPyramid
To help identify how your favorite foods satisfy your daily food group needs, select ConAgra Foods® brands will soon feature the MyPyramid label on the front of each package. This handy reference uses easy-to-follow, color-coded graphics to show how each product contributes to the USDA-defined key food groups.
Make More Nutritious Plans
These color-coded MyPyramid graphics are an essential part of your Daily Nutrition Planner. To help you reach your daily recommended amounts for each food group, each product is assigned values for each group, which contributes to the totals at the bottom of your plan. With the MyPyramid guides on packaging, you can easily see how each food could contribute to your plan before you even leave the grocery store.
Shop for Balance
When you use this new label as a guide, shopping for more balanced nutritious choices becomes much easier. Each MyPyramid label will be prominently featured on the front of each package, helping you understand and compare the differences between your favorite foods.
