Read the following TEXT in order to answer questions 32 to 40:
Does Garlic mean Garlic?
1 Mike looked at the label on the big plastic container. It said Garlic Powder. There
was a U with a circle around it after the word Powder. What does this U
3 mean, Mike wondered. Under the word Powder was another word, Seasoning. Under t
hat word was a drawing of a garlic bulb.
5 Mike knew that food labels can be tricky. Powder is powder, but Seasoning could
mean salt. He looked all around the plastic container for an
7 ingredients label. There wasn't one. In small print under the drawing of the garlic bulb
was a phone number: 1-800-632-6900. Call that number if you have
9 comments or questions, the label said.
Mike called the number. A woman answered. He asked her what the U
11 inside a circle meant. She said it meant kosher. Kosher food is food that is prepared according to Jewish law.
13 Mike asked where the ingredients label was. She said if there is only one
ingredient, there is no ingredients label.
15 "So, there is no salt in this product?" Mike asked.
"No, sir," she said. "It's 100 percent garlic powder."
17 "Why does it say, Product of USA and China?"
She said that sometimes they get the garlic from China, sometimes they
19 get it from the US.
