measurement for energy
provided by food

class, cleaning your room)
• You can maintain your
weight by balancing calories
consumed with calories
burned throughout the day

calories
• Provide vitamins,
minerals, and other
healthful substances
• Important for a
healthy diet

Critical Thinking
Empty Calories
You have the choice of consuming a medium-sized
apple or an 8-ounce glass of sugary soda.
Since each option contains about 100
calories, can one food be more healthful
than the other? Why or why not?

What are some examples of
health problems that might be
caused by overnutrition?

shows the serving
size, servings per
container, and
calories per serving

recommended
intake amounts for
specific nutrients

the bottom of the
food label panel

Food Label Activity

Critical Thinking
Serving Size
Suppose you look at the label for a bag of caramel
crunch popcorn and see that it contains 100 calories.
You eat the entire bag before you begin to wonder
how such a large serving of this snack could have
only 100 calories.
What mistake did you
make when you looked
at the food label?

Ingredients in Foods
• A food label includes all
the ingredients that were
used to make that food
• Ingredients are often listed
in a confusing way
• Food additives must also
be included in the
ingredient list

Claims on Labels
• Food labels may
describe a food using
a specific claim about
its health benefits
– Examples: “low fat,”
“reduced calories”
• Foods should meet
certain criteria set by
the FDA to use these
labels

Think Further
What general requirements
must a food meet to be
called an organic food?
What are two reasons
someone might wish to
purchase organic food,
even if it is more expensive
than other products?

Foodborne infections are caused
by agents, such as bacteria,
viruses, or parasites.
How does foodborne intoxication
differ from a foodborne infection?
– Foodborne intoxication is an
illness caused by toxins that an
organism has produced in a
food

3.3 Eat It or Toss It?

determine whether the food in question should be
eaten or thrown away. Identify any food-safety
hazards in the scenarios and explain how the
hazards can be fixed or avoided.
