In the normal course it really doesn't matter. Most of us know what the calorie count is approximately and that probably the food is high sodium. However, when they purport to provide a special diet meal, the counts should be there. United has no clue what to put on a low fat tray. I ordered several at a time when I was waiting to have my gall bladder operation and the fat count was really important. The trays were all low sugar, not low fat. Can't the airline's provider hire at least ONE nutritionist? If the counts were there for that type of food, at least it would be obvious that the food is either safe or not.
