Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 5CT
The food label in Figure 11.28 lists the nutrients and other substances in a package of ready-to-eat macaroni and cheese. Based on your reading in this chapter, how would you rate this product’s “healthiness” in terms of fats and carbohydrates?
Figure 11.28 Food labels are useful health tools. Information on a food label can be used to ensure that you get the nutrients you need without exceeding recommended limits on less healthy substances such as salt, sugar, and trans fats. At present, the USDA is considering major revisions to food labels. The proposed changes include showing realistic serving sizes and sugars added by the manufacturer, and printing the calorie content per serving in larger, bolder type so that it is easier for consumers to make informed choices about purchases of prepared foods.
