Bulk foods should always be labeled with which information?

• A. Key ingredients and a use-by date
• B. Price and weight
• C. Brand name only
• D. Manufacturer address

Answer: (A)

Bulk foods need labels that provide key ingredients and a use-by date because this information protects safety and helps customers make informed choices. The ingredients list allows people with allergies or dietary restrictions to identify potential allergens or restricted ingredients, while the use-by date indicates the point at which the product is still safe to eat. Other details like price, weight, brand, or the manufacturer address aren’t the essential safety information required for bulk items, so they don’t serve the same purpose as the essential labeling.
