Final answer:

In Ecuador, cholesterol content is not required to be listed on the mandatory traffic-light supplemental nutritional information labeling system, which includes sugar, fat, and salt. Therefore correct option is D

Step-by-step explanation:

In Ecuador, the product content in processed food that is NOT included in the mandatory traffic-light supplemental nutritional information labeling system is d. Cholesterol. The traffic-light labeling system in Ecuador focuses on three main components: sugar, fat, and salt. These must be declared on processed food labels to inform consumers about the level of these ingredients, with the purpose of making healthier food choices to prevent non-communicable diseases such as obesity and heart disease. Unlike trans fats, cholesterol content is not a mandatory part of this labeling system in Ecuador.
