Which item is a portion of a nutrition label?

• A. Brand name
• B. Calories per serving
• C. Zinc content
• D. Carbohydrate color

Answer: (B)

On a nutrition label, the energy content shown per defined amount of food is a standard part of the panel. This is represented by calories per serving, which tells you how much energy you get from one serving of the product. The serving size is the reference, so all other nutrient amounts are tied to that amount. That’s why calories per serving is the best choice: it is a typical, defined metric you’ll find directly on the nutrition facts label. Brand name belongs to the packaging, not the nutrition section. Zinc content may appear on some labels as a mineral amount, but it isn’t a universal per-serving item. Carbohydrate color isn’t a feature of nutrition labels.
