Question

When looking at the ingredient label of a bottled spaghetti sauce, you see that olive oil is the second ingredient. This means that olive oil is:______.

A. The second ingredient by alphabetical listing.
B. Just one of the ingredients present in the sauce.
C. The second ingredient by weight.
D. The second ingredient by amount present in the sauce.

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Ingredients on the nutrition label of food are listed in order of quantity. This means the beginning of the food label has the ingredients that are used the most, and the ending of the list has the ingredients that are used the least.

They are not ordered by the alphabet, weight or randomly. They are ordered by the amount present, therefore D (the second ingredient by amount present in the sauce) is correct.

Answer 2

C. The second ingredient by weight.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the olive oil is listed as the second ingredient, this means that it has more weight than any other ingredient before that.
