    effectively if taken in raw form.

    "9at-free" means less than 8.3 grams of fat per serving.

    "Low-fat" means grams or less per serving.

    "Reduced fat" or "less fat" means at least 3M less per serving than asimilar food.

    "Light" means M fewer calories or 38M less fat per serving than thereference food.
