Insoluble Fiber — FDA label rounding

Insoluble Fiber has no FDA Daily Value and is declared voluntarily — it appears on a Nutrition Facts label only when a manufacturer chooses to list it, or when a related claim requires it. It does have a rounding rule, set by § 101.9(c)(6)(i)(B).

How do I find out how much insoluble fiber is in a food?

A Daily Value is a reference target, not a measurement of any particular food. To find the insoluble fiber content of a specific ingredient or product, look it up in USDA FoodData Central, then use that amount here to see what a label would declare and what %DV it carries.
