or lite
As applied to foods usually indicates: (1)a lower content of fat compared with the standard product (e.g. breadspreads, sausages);(2)Sodium chloride substitutes lower in sodium (see salt, light);(3)Low-alcohol beer or wine. US legislation restricts the term ‘light’ to modified foods that contain one-third less energy or half the fat of a reference unmodified food, or to indicate that the sodium content of a low-fat, low-calorie food has been reduced by half. See also fat-free; free from; low in; reduced.
