The explanation is as follows:
Explanation:
- Nutritional labels that contain the "As Packaged" column is the information about the material used in the production of that product and also a measure of their quantity in the box.
- Although, the packages that have both columns, it is generally not suggested or expected to consume the content without further preparation.
- "As Prepared" takes into consideration all the other components that are required to be added to the package in order to make it into a meal.
- An example of this could be a pancake mix which usually requires eggs, butter, or milk in addition to the cake mix.
- The "As Prepared" column tries to estimate these added nutritional sources.
- Basically, "As Packaged" mentions the nutritional content of the food that was sold, and "As Prepared" means the nutritional content of the food after it has been prepared and ready for consumption.

Answer:
It is a measure of the raw components in a box or processed item. Nevertheless, on packages with both columns, it's usually not recommended or expected to consume without additional preparation. "As Prepared" takes into account other components that need to be added to the package in order to make it. The "As Prepared" column attempts to take these added nutritional sources into account. Simply, "As Packaged" refers to how the nutritional content of the food marketed, and "As Prepared" refers to the nutritional content of the food when it's ready for consumption.
