To determine which option is correct, we need to understand the criteria for a food product to be labeled as "sugar-free." In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has specific guidelines for this labeling.
According to the FDA guidelines, a food product can be labeled as "sugar-free" if it contains less than 0.5 grams of sugar per serving. Therefore, option B, which states "less than 0.5 grams of sugar per serving," is the correct answer.
To find this information, you can check the nutrition facts label on the food product packaging. Look for the section that indicates the amount of sugar per serving. If it states that it contains less than 0.5 grams of sugar, then it can be accurately labeled as "sugar-free."
