TABLE 3.

A summary of the criteria for front-of-pack whole-grain labeling proposed by the Healthgrain Forum

There must be ≥30% whole-grain ingredients based on total-product dry weight and a greater proportion of whole-grain ingredients than refined-grain ingredients.

In mixed products (e.g., pizza or ready-to-eat meals with a cereal component and a noncereal component), a whole-grain label can be used, provided the whole-grain ingredients make up ≥30% of total ingredients based on dry weight and there are more whole-grain than refined-grain ingredients. The amount stated on the whole-grain label should be based on the cereal component of the food.
