What category is used to list ingredients on a food label?

This enables people to determine what is present in the product and choose whether they want to eat it.

This means that the first item listed is the most of that ingredient in the product.

For example, if the first ingredient listed on a food label is "sugar", then that product is mostly sugar.

Here are the categories that ingredients are listed under on a food label:

- Common name: This is the name that the ingredient is commonly known by. For example, "sugar" instead of "sucrose".

- Scientific name: This is the Latin name of the ingredient. For example, "Saccharum officinarum" instead of "sugar".

- Weight or volume: This is the amount of the ingredient in the product, expressed in grams (g), kilograms (kg), millilitres (mL), or litres (L). For example, "100 g of sugar".

- Percentage: This is the amount of the ingredient in the product, expressed as a percentage of the total weight or volume. For example, "10% sugar".
