Detailed explanation-1: -On a product label, the ingredients are listed in order of predominance, with the ingredients used in the greatest amount first, followed in descending order by those in smaller amounts.

Detailed explanation-2: -Study the Ingredients List. 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: -Ingredient labeling allows us to see what is in our food and products, and it gives us a rough idea on which ingredients make up the bulk of the product. All ingredients found on a product’s ingredient list are required to be listed from largest to smallest quantity based on weight.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ingredients must be listed in descending order (by ingoing weight). This means that when the food was manufactured, the first ingredient listed contributed the largest amount and the last ingredient listed contributed the least.
