for saturated fat would appear on the food label for this food?

It is characterized as unhealthy fat along with trans fat due to solid form at room temperature which is not digested and absorbed in the body. It includes butter, cheese, oil, bacon, and red meat.
- In biochemistry, the daily percentage value for saturated fat is defined as the amount of this type of fat that is served in the total daily diet given by the FDA. The total daily value percent is equal to two thousand calories per day.
Step 2
- One serving of a food contains 2 g of saturated fat, the percentage Daily Value for saturated fat would appear on the food label for this food will be expressed as below:-
- One gram of fat( includes trans, saturated and unsaturated) is equal to nine calories in the total food diet
