Explain the difference between the columns commonly found on nutrition labels called "As Packaged" and "As Prepared." Why do some products have both and others only have "As Packaged"?
Answer (1)
Nutrition labels use "As Packaged" to indicate the food's nutritional values before any preparation, while "As Prepared" shows values after cooking or mixing. Some products have both columns due to significant changes in nutritional content after preparation, while others only provide "As Packaged" if they are consumed directly. Understanding these distinctions aids in making more informed dietary choices. ;
