Answer: 30 grams Sugar, 28 grams puffed wheat, 5 grams dry milk powder, 2 grams salt, 35 micrograms red food coloring.

Step-by-step explanation:

The U.S labeling and regulation states that the ingredients should be listed in the descending order by their weight.

So, all the food packages have ingredients listed in this form only. This rule is mandatory and has to be followed by every manufacturer.

Here, the ingredients should be arranged in this sequence:

  1. Sugar
  2. puffed wheat
  3. dry milk powder
  4. salt
  5. red food coloring
