Answer:

That statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

The US Food and drug administrations actually require all ingredients to be listed under the food label, not only the top 5. This rule was created as a form of consumers protection to ensure that companies do not put dangerous ingredients in the food, even a little.

The FDA require all the ingredients to be put in descending order based on the amount of ingredients' weight.
