2. Is it clear and informative, what makes it clear or not?

3. Do you think it is misleading in any way, if yes, how so?

4. Do you think this product should have this label, why or why not? [For this question you should look at the ingredients and packaging and perhaps think about how the product is made and make your argument based on all this information regarding the product]

5. Is the label effective or not? Explain your answer.

6. Is a premium charged for this product?
