Which label is required on all packaged foods for consumer information?

• A. Nutrition Facts label
• B. Calories only
• C. Ingredients list only
• D. Brand logo

Answer: (A)

Providing consistent nutrition information on packaged foods helps consumers compare products and manage their diets. The Nutrition Facts label gives a standardized snapshot of what a serving contains, including calories and a range of nutrients (fat, sodium, sugars, fiber, protein, etc.), plus daily value percentages and often key vitamins and minerals. This consistency makes it the primary source people rely on to assess how a product fits into their dietary needs. An calories-only label would miss important nutrient details, and while the ingredients list is important for knowing what’s in the product and for allergens, it doesn’t provide the complete nutrient profile or how it contributes to daily needs. A brand logo, by contrast, only identifies the company and offers no nutrition information. Therefore, the Nutrition Facts label is the required consumer information label on packaged foods.
