The following colors help readily identify which is which:
Black = Rated EXTREMELY HIGH in Saturated Fat (10.001-33.000 g)
Dark Red = Rated VERY HIGH in Saturated Fat (5.001-10.000 g)
Red = Rated HIGH in Saturated Fat (3.001-5.000 g)
Orange = Rated MODERATELY HIGH in Saturated Fat (1.001-3.000 g)
Yellow = Rated MODERATE in Saturated Fat (0.501-1.000 g)
Light Green = Rated MODERATELY LOW in Saturated Fat (0.101-0.500 g)
Green = Rated LOW in Saturated Fat (0.011-0.100 g)
Cyan = Rated VERY LOW in Saturated Fat (0.001-0.010 g)
White = Rated EXTREMELY LOW in Saturated Fat (0.000 g)
