Answer to Question 1

The nutrition facts label is the part of the food label that contains the nutrition information required by the FDA, such as allergens, total fat, sodium, cholesterol, and calories. The ingredient list is in a separate place on the label. It lists the ingredients in descending order by weight. In a restaurant or foodservice operation, the food label can be used to determine the serving size, the number of servings in a container, the ingredients list, and the daily values. It can be used to check for allergens. Staff responsible
for receiving deliveries can review the label to ensure that the food product received matches the food ordered. This is especially important if a specific type of product, such as a salt-free, organic, or whole-grain product, was ordered. The daily value can be used to increase or decrease specific nutrients when
menu planning or to determine whether a product has too much sodium for a special recipe.
