Explore the updated food label online. The online tool provides an overview of the label and each of its elements. See: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/InteractiveNutritionFactsLabel/factsheets.cfm

Here’s a helpful tip about the ingredient list on the package: Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the ingredient that weighs the most in the product is listed first, and the ingredient that weighs the least is listed last.
