Detailed explanation-1: -Food labels carry useful information to help you make informed choices about what you and your family eat and drink. Most packaged foods are required to have a label with this information, but the information required depends on the food type.
Detailed explanation-2: -Product ingredients are listed by quantity-from highest to lowest amount. This means that the first ingredient is what the manufacturer used the most of. A good rule of thumb is to scan the first three ingredients, as they make up the largest part of what you’re eating.
Detailed explanation-3: -Choosing an appropriate common name. The common name of a food is: the name printed in boldface type, but not in italics, in the FDR (for example, “orange juice from concentrate", “60% whole wheat bread", “milk chocolate", “mayonnaise")
