The information should be fairly clear and not in much need of interpretation. The name of the product should be the common name of the product. The net contents should tell you how much there is in the package. The manufacturer/distributor information should let you know who to contact in case there is an issue with the product. The ingredient statement should tell you (in descending qty) just what is in the product and should give you allergen content information. The nutrition panel should tell you the serving size, how many servings in the container, and what the nutritional makeup is of a serving. Any necessary preparation instructions should also be on the label.
