Food+Labelling

=Reading Food Labels=

Ask Mrs Budd for the packet of stir fry sauce and use the food labelling to compare it to the recipe we used in class last week

Answer the following questions, put your answers in a __discussion__ post for Mrs Budd to check 1. Which has more salt? (not including what you added after!) 2. Which has chemical/artificial ingredients? 3. Which has a better nutritional value? 4. Justify* your answer!


 * (This means you need to give a complex and convincing answer as to why )

Use another prepackaged food item (ask Mrs Budd for one) and find a 'from scratch' recipe for it on the internet. Compare the two for their nutritional content An easy way to do this is to search for a recipe on [|Food.com] All their recipes have a Nutritional Information Panel down the right hand side of the page Write a post on the discussion page sharing your comparison of the two. = = =﻿Food Labelling (Extension Activity)=
