Instructions

Find food labels for four foods that you often eat. You can find them online and copy the picture. The labels need to show the front of the package and the nutrition facts panel and ingredient list. One or two to a page works and leaves room to type. This will be a more useful activity if you pick interesting foods with longer ingredient lists, or lots of information on the package. A simple food like tuna would be rather boring and would not meet the focus of this assignment.

What you write about is up to you as long as you show interest and engagement with the activity. How you do it is also up to you. You can point out items on each label with arrows and mention it in your written part. Each food item/label must include a paragraph below it with the answers/comments you have about it.

Questions and items to consider when are evaluating your food item/label:

1. Are there any interesting claims on the package?
2. Can you see how the claim is backed up on the Nutrition Facts Panel or the Ingredient List?
3. Is the Serving Size the amount you eat? Much less, bigger?
4. Looking at the Daily Values are there any surprises there? Is this food high in any of the less-desirable components? Low in desirable ones?
5. Are there any surprises in the ingredient list? Can you pronounce the names, know what they are? Maybe look up some that you do not recognize and tell what they are.

Additional Notes

• Paste your labels into a document and make sure they are large enough to read.
• Type your response below each food item you have chosen (you will have 4 all together for your submission).

Purpose: Nutrition Applied assignments require that you think critically about textbook readings, other reliable sources of nutrition information and the data generated by your 3-day dietary analysis. This will require analysis, inference, problem solving and clear communication. All of these critical thinking skills are essential in health care professions, and are developed throughout the academic pathway to those professions.

Task: Download the attached file. Complete the homework document and upload the document along with the NCP All Daily Reports file (same file submitted for the Welcome Unit) through the Assignment section of Canvas. Homework will not be accepted as an attachment to e-mail.

Please note: You do not have to keep a new 3-day record for this assignment.

Purpose: Future health care professionals need to become comfortable sharing information about food and nutrition. In doing so, students must be sure to use reliable sources of information, interpret that information accurately, and communicate it clearly. These discussions will allow you to practice the skills that are used when educating clients about the connections between lifestyle and health.

The length of your response should be sufficient to respond in a clear and detailed manner, but should not wander from the focus of the prompt. It is recommended that your response stay in the 100-250 word count range.

Task: Read the following webpage, which outlines the American Heart Association’s guidelines for added sugars:

Find a food or drink you regularly consume with a surprising (high) amount of added sugar.

In the reply to this discussion, post the following:

1) a photo of the item and its food label (please embed and make sure your image is large enough to read)

2) the following information (even if it is on the label, you need to type it out):

• complete name of the product
• the serving size (NOT servings per container):
• grams of added sugar per serving:
• teaspoons of added sugar per serving

Be sure to do the math correctly! Do not include the natural sugar from fruit or milk. If the product is not using the new food label, you may need to do some research to determine how much added sugar is in each serving. (Hint: Do not Google the answer! Use the math described in the lecture: grams of added sugar /4 = teaspoons of added sugar).

3) How does this item fit into your limit for added sugar established by the American Heart Association?

4) What would be a healthier alternative?

Purpose: Future health care professionals need to become comfortable sharing information about food and nutrition.

Case Study Assignment

Step 1: Using the following scenario, complete the case study.

During Winter Break, Alexa, Briana, and Lesley went to a small Mexican town near the Gulf of Mexico. On Friday night, the girls went to a restaurant. Alexa and Briana shared a pizza with ground beef, refried beans, cheese, and some vegetable toppings. Lesley ate a large portion of chicken fajitas. After dinner, Lesley brought her leftover chicken fajitas back to the hotel and stored them in the rooms refrigerator. Saturday morning, the girls ate bagels and fresh fruit. For lunch, the girls stopped at a deli. Alexa had a spinach salad with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and poppy seed dressing. Briana had a shrimp salad sandwich on a toasted multigrain roll. Lesley had a bowl of seafood gumbo soup. The young women were having so much fun that evening, they didnt have time for a sit-down dinner, so they each ate a hot dog from a street vendor. When they returned to the hotel later that evening, they were a little bit hungry, so they shared Lesleys chicken fajita leftovers after reheating them in a microwave. Between 3:00 and 5:00 a.m. on Sunday morning, Alexa and Briana each woke up feeling nauseous and bloated. They spent most of Sunday sick with vomiting and diarrhea. Alexa also had a very bad headache and chills. Lesley felt fine, but she was stuck in the hotel room taking care of her sick friends all day.

Step 2: In a 1-2 page paper, discuss the following:

• Determine what food(s) you think could have potentially been the source of Alexa and Brianas food-borne illness. Explain your reasoning.
• Identify potential sources of food-borne illness for each of the meals the girls ate over the weekend.
• Based on their symptoms, a suspected food source(s), and the time of onset, analyze which microorganism(s) were most likely to have been responsible for their illness. Use references to support your claims.
• Discuss any precautions that Briana and Alexa could have done differently to prevent developing a food-borne illness. Explain your answer.
