question 6
reading food labels helps consumers:

○ choose foods with good sources of dietary fiber
○ determine amount and kind of fat in the product
○ all of the above

Explanation:

First Question (Agency regulating food labels)

• USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) mainly deals with agriculture, farming, and some food safety aspects but not primary food label regulation.
• CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) focuses on disease prevention and control, not food labels.
• FDA (Food and Drug Administration) is responsible for regulating food labels, ensuring accurate and truthful information about food products.
• FTC (Federal Trade Commission) deals with trade practices, consumer protection in commerce but not food label regulation.

• Food labels list nutritional information. They show sodium (salt) content, dietary fiber content, and fat (amount and type, like saturated, unsaturated). So reading labels helps with all these: identifying sodium, choosing fiber - rich foods, and determining fat details.

Answer:

C. FDA
