Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ingredients in food products must be listed in descending order of their weight, from highest to lowest. This allows consumers to know which ingredients are present in the greatest amounts in the product. Listing ingredients by calorie content or nutrient density would not provide an accurate picture of the actual ingredients present in the product, and listing ingredients by cost would not be relevant or useful for most consumers.
