Question: 1 / 400

What does the label 'Light' or 'Lite' mean in food products?

Contains no calories

50% less fat or 1/3 fewer calories than the regular version

The label 'Light' or 'Lite' on food products signifies that the product has been modified to contain either 50% less fat or at least 1/3 fewer calories compared to the standard version of that product. This terminology is regulated to help consumers make healthier dietary choices. By reducing fat or calories, these products aim to appeal to individuals who are looking to manage their weight or decrease their fat intake without significantly compromising on taste or satisfaction.

The other options do not accurately define what 'Light' or 'Lite' means. For instance, describing a product as containing no calories is not a requirement for a 'Light' label and could mislead consumers. Higher vitamins and minerals content is not a standard expectation for 'Light' or 'Lite' products, nor is the absence of added preservatives necessarily reflected in this labeling. Therefore, the correct understanding revolves around the reduction of fat content or overall calories.
