Here's a sample of a USDA entry that has sugar alcohol data: http://forum.lowcarber.org/myplan.p...s&item_id=14311
The data is provided for a sample worth 100 grams. Not all that data will be available on the label, but a minimum requirement is calories, protein, carbs and fat.
Additional data that can be useful, but not required, is servings factors. The structure of the database is described at the USDA website here: http://www.ars.usda.gov/Services/docs.htm?docid=8964
