On the chicken soup Nutrition Facts label, you can see there is some vitamin A and some iron, but no vitamin C or calcium. That means you'll have to get those nutrients from the rest of your diet. Remember if you eat the whole can, you'll have to multiply those percentages by the number of servings you just ate to get the correct total amounts.

This part of the Nutrition Facts label shows the vitamin and mineral content of the product. The FDA requires information on calcium, iron, vitamin A, and vitamin C all be included on the Nutrition Facts label. Sometimes the food manufacturers will add information about other vitamins like niacin or folic acid if the product contains any significant amounts of those nutrients.
