A label on foods prepared and packaged on site for retail sales must list which of the following?

• A. Calories per serving
• B. A list of ingredients used in descending order by weight
• C. Allergen information
• D. Country of origin

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that foods prepared and packaged on site for retail must show what’s in the product, listed in order from most weight to least. This ingredient list is required by labeling rules and helps customers know exactly what they’re eating, including which ingredients are present in the largest amounts. The order by weight matters because it reflects how much of each ingredient is used, regardless of how dense or volumetric that ingredient is.

Other labeling pieces—like calories per serving, allergen information, or country of origin—are governed by separate rules and may be required in different contexts, but the fundamental, universal requirement for these on-site packaged foods is the ingredients list in descending order by weight.
