Getting Custom Field values not choices ?!

So is there a chance to put all possible custom field values of a checkbox in a foreach or to put them into an echo?
I just created a custom field type checkbox with about 16 choices.
I need to get the values for a query to filter post.
In the first screenshot are the values and choices of the custom field.
Custom field is called ‘serien’.

The second screenshot shows the code in my category.php and the third screenshot shows the output. But i just get the choices and i need the values.

Code here again

$field = get_field_object('field_52385b5083a0d');
$value = get_field('field_52385b5083a0d');

$label = $field['choices'];
foreach ($label as $labels){
    echo $labels .', ';
}

Any suggestions?

Hi @Ai4President

the foreach loop needs to accomodate for the keys like so:

foreach( $label as $key => $value )
{
  echo $key . ', ';
}

yeah thanks got it but i get another questions – how can i get a bridge between the keys and labels? so for example in the foreach

foreach( $label as $key => $value )
{
  echo $key . ', ';
}

i want to echo so label as well as the key?

Solved it by myself

<?php
$field = get_field_object('field_52385b5083a0d');
$value = get_field('field_52385b5083a0d');
$label = $field['choices'];

						
foreach( $label as $key => $value ){?>
                        
<?php $test_meta = array(
   'orderby' 		=> 'id', 
   'order' 		=> 'ASC', 
   'category' 		=> $cat_id, //Get the current cat (Category.php)
   'meta_key'		=> 'serien',
   'meta_value'	        => $key,
   'meta_compare'	=> 'LIKE'); // With the like i get a link from the meta-key-value to the sql-meta-value

$test_posts = get_posts( $test_meta);
if(count($test_posts) < 1){
}
else{
?>
