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 (2)
The "As Packaged" column on nutrition labels shows nutritional content in the food's original state, while the "As Prepared" column reflects nutrition after cooking or preparing. Some products have both columns for flexibility, while others only have "As Packaged" if they require no preparation. Understanding these differences helps consumers make informed dietary choices.
