Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A claim of "low in cholesterol" means that the food contains 20 milligrams of cholesterol or less. Additionally, the answer options indicate that low in saturated fatty acids would also be relevant, but the only option that includes both the cholesterol limit and the saturated fat requirement is C. Option A is too narrow and does not consider saturated fat content, while option D is too restrictive and is not a recognized definition of "low cholesterol."
