Answer to Question 1

They should first examine the Daily Values section of the label to confirm that the percentage of calories from fat is under 25 and the percentage from saturated fat is under 5. They should also look at the ingredients list to check that cheese or creams (sources of saturated fats) are listed further down in the ingredients list. This would suggest that the product is high in pasta or vegetables as opposed to saturated fat sources.
