About this resource
Description
Reading food labels is an essential life skill that helps kids make healthy, informed choices about what they eat. This reading food labels worksheet introduces 5th grade students to the Nutrition Facts panel, teaching them how to find the serving size, calories, percent daily value, and key nutrients like fat, sodium, and protein. By learning to read food labels carefully, children build the close-reading and following-directions habits that carry over into science, math, and everyday healthy living.
This nutrition label reading worksheet gives students a realistic Nutrition Facts label to study, followed by clear questions that ask them to locate information and do simple calculations, such as doubling a value to find the amount in the whole container. To use it, have students read the label closely, answer each question on the lines provided, and explain their thinking on the final question about whether the food is a healthy choice. The included answer key makes checking work quick and easy.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- A realistic Nutrition Facts label plus 6 reading-and-reasoning questions
First, this reading food labels worksheet strengthens real-world reading comprehension by asking students to pull specific facts from a dense, information-rich label. Second, it sneaks in valuable math practice, since students must interpret percentages and multiply serving values to reason about a full container. Third, it builds health and nutrition awareness, helping kids connect classroom skills to the smart food choices they make every day.
Teachers and parents can extend this skill in many fun ways. Bring in real cereal boxes, snack packages, or canned goods and have children compare the labels to find which option has less sugar or sodium. Challenge students to design their own healthy snack and create a Nutrition Facts label for it. You can also turn label reading into a grocery-store scavenger hunt, asking kids to find a food that is high in protein or a good source of fiber. These hands-on activities make nutrition learning active and memorable.
