Question

which food would not need to carry a nutrition facts panel?
○ a. a smoothie purchased at a restaurant franchise with only 25 locations
○ b. a cookie purchased from a vending machine
○ c. a box of plain coffee to be brewed at home
○ d. a box of popcorn purchased at a movie theater

Explanation:

According to the FDA regulations, food sold in vending machines (b), packaged coffee (c) and popcorn at movie theaters (d) generally require Nutrition Facts panels. However, freshly - made foods like smoothies in a restaurant franchise (even with 25 locations) are often exempt as they are considered "ready - to - eat" and not pre - packaged in a way that requires detailed nutritional labeling.

Answer:

a. A smoothie purchased at a restaurant franchise with only 25 locations
