Every tag and warning is computed from the recipe's own nutrition panel, per serving. The panels are estimates from USDA data, checked by a second reviewer. We name the rule each tag follows; no organisation has reviewed or approved these recipes.
| Tag | Rule, per serving | Where the number comes from |
|---|---|---|
| High sodium (warning) | 20% of the Daily Value or more per serving: 460 mg or more (DV 2,300 mg) | FDA's proposed front-of-package rule (Low 5% DV or less, Medium 6–19%, High 20% or more); not final as of October 2026. Daily Value: 21 CFR 101.9 |
| High saturated fat (warning) | 20% of the Daily Value or more per serving: 4 g or more (DV 20 g) | Same proposed FDA front-of-package levels; Daily Value 21 CFR 101.9 |
| Lower sodium | A main dish at most 600 mg sodium per serving; breakfast, snacks and desserts at most 300 mg; at least one high-potassium food; saturated fat at most 10% of calories | asharedpalate.com's own line, set 2026-10-30; saturated-fat share from the Dietary Guidelines for Americans |
| Low sodium | 140 mg sodium or less per serving | FDA's definition of the claim, 21 CFR 101.61 (applied per serving) |
| High fiber | 20% of the Daily Value or more per serving: 5.6 g or more (DV 28 g) | FDA's definition of 'high', 21 CFR 101.54(b) |
| Good source of fiber | 10–19% of the Daily Value per serving: 2.8–5.5 g | FDA's definition of 'good source', 21 CFR 101.54(c) |
| Not high in sodium or saturated fat | Under the 20% Daily Value line for both | FDA's proposed front-of-package levels |
The American Diabetes Association publishes daily guidance (for example, sodium under 2,300 mg a day and fiber of at least 14 g per 1,000 calories) but no per-recipe line, so we do not tag recipes for diabetes. American Heart Association pages could not be read for this page; nothing here is an AHA rating.
