What ingredients are food labels legally required to list?
  1. The unhealthy ones
  2. The Big 8 allergens
  3. Ingredients high in sodium
  4. Ingredients high in fat
Explanation
Answer: B - Legally, food labels are required to list the Big 8 allergens.

As the Big 8 allergens account for 90% of all food allergies, the FDA requires that they or any ingredient derived from them be listed on the label. Some manufacturers go above this to list items the product may contain, but they are not legally obligated to do so.
