If a client wants to use the food label to check the number of kcals in a product, they should also check the

b. servings per container.
c. % Daily Value.
d. ingredient list.
B
The number of kcals in a product is stated for a standard serving size of that food. The client needs to multiply the kcals per serving by the number of servings in the container to know how many kcals it contains. The calories from fat are not related to the total number of kcals in the food. The % Daily Value describes the nutrient content of the food rather than its caloric value. The ingredient list does not give any information about kcals.
