Question: 1 / 400

An item with less than how many kcal per serving can be considered "calorie free"?

45

35

15

5

An item can be labeled as "calorie free" if it contains fewer than 5 kcal per serving. This standard is established by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which provides guidelines for food labeling. By restricting the calorie content to under 5, it ensures that the contribution of calories is negligible, allowing consumers to confidently include those items in their diets without significantly impacting their overall caloric intake.

The other calorie thresholds, such as 15, 35, and 45 kcal, are higher numbers that do not meet the established standard for "calorie free," making them unsuitable for that specific labeling claim. Items with these higher calorie counts may still have a minimal caloric effect, but they cannot be marketed as calorie free according to regulatory guidelines.
