Answer: In order to evaluate the accuracy of nutrition label information against a standard for compliance purposes, FDA regulations define two nutrient classes (Class I and Class II) (21 CFR 101.9 (g) (3)) and list a third group (Third Group) of nutrients (21 CFR 101.9 (g) (5)). Class, I nutrients are those added to fortified or fabricated foods.

Explanation: A lot of searching
