Overall, you did a great job answering these questions correctly!

1. The foods that are exempt from the food labeling law are ready-to-eat foods such as bakery, deli, and candy store items. The other options, packaged cereal, bread, crackers, sodas, fruit juice, milk, and cheese, are not exempt from the food labeling law.

3. The nutrient that has a direct, proven relationship to increasing LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels and therefore, an increased risk of coronary heart disease is trans fatty acids. Carbohydrates, calcium, and protein do not have this same relationship.

4. To limit foods that have no %DV (Daily Value) of ingredients such as trans fat and sugar, you should compare the labels of similar products and choose the food with the lowest amount. This means looking at the Nutrition Facts label of different products and selecting the one with the lowest amount of trans fat and sugar.

7. One item that must be included on the food label is the total calories. It is important to know the number of calories in a food product to make informed decisions about your diet. A list of food colorings and information about soluble and insoluble fiber are not mandatory for the food label.

8. The food label law is mandatory for most foods except meat and poultry. Ready-to-eat foods at a bakery, deli, and/or candy store; medical foods; coffee, tea, and spices are all subject to the food labeling law. However, meat and poultry have their own labeling requirements regulated by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

9. No, not all fats are bad for you. Polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats, such as olive oil, canola oil, soybean oil, and corn oil, have positive effects on the body. These fats can help reduce bad cholesterol levels and promote heart health. Therefore, the correct answer is that not all fats are bad for you.

10. The best option for consumers to know if a product contains trans fat, if it's not identified on the nutrition label, is to check the ingredient list. If the ingredient list includes the words "shortening," "partially hydrogenated vegetable oil," or "hydrogenated vegetable oil," then the food contains trans fat. This is the most reliable way to identify the presence of trans fat in a product. The other options provided are not accurate methods to determine if a product contains trans fat.

In summary, the correct answers are:

1. Ready to eat foods at a bakery, deli, and/or candy store items are exempt from the food labeling law.
3. Trans fatty acids have a direct, proven relationship to increasing LDL cholesterol levels and the risk of coronary heart disease.
4. To limit foods with no %DV of trans fat and sugar, compare the labels of similar products and choose the one with the lowest amount.
7. Total calories must be included on the food label.
8. The food label law is mandatory for most foods except meat and poultry.
9. No, not all fats are bad for you. Polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats have positive effects on the body.
10. The best way to determine if a product contains trans fat is to check the ingredient list for words like "shortening," "partially hydrogenated vegetable oil," or "hydrogenated vegetable oil."
