Design food label for one of your preserved food products
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:Don’t be misled by labeling tricks and traps. The terms used are often misleading. For example:
The term ‘light’ or ‘lite’ doesn’t necessarily mean that the product is low in fat or energy. The term ‘light’ may refer to the texture, color or taste of the product. The characteristic that makes the food ‘light’ must be stated on the label.
The claims ‘no cholesterol’, ‘low cholesterol’ or ‘cholesterol free’ on foods derived from plants, like margarine and oil, are meaningless because all plant foods contain virtually no cholesterol. However, some can be high in fat and can contribute to weight gain if used too generously.
If an item claims to be 93 per cent fat free, it actually contains 7 per cent fat, but it looks so much better the other way.
‘Baked not fried’ sounds healthier, but it may still have just as much fat – check the nutrition information panel to be sure.
‘Fresh’ actually means the product hasn’t been preserved by freezing, canning, high-temperature or chemical treatment. However, it may have been refrigerated and spent time in processing and transport.
