Abstract: Pretest and posttest results suggest that statistically significant differences exist between students’ performance on two nutritional quizzes. The findings also indicate that scores are higher on the posttest for students’ knowledge about the percent daily values for the selected nutrients. Overall, female students outperform male students on both tests. From the results, nutritional instruction is an effective tool to enhance students’ knowledge of the Nutrition Facts labels.
