What are the 3 types of label claims that products can put on the front of them?

Health claims

statements that describe a food or ingredient or supplement that has been shown to decrease the risk of some type of disease

greater than 20%; fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, or sodium

Health claims cannot be used on the front label of products that contain _____% daily value of which foods?

Nutrient content claims

claims on the label that describe the level or amount of a nutrient in a food product

structure/function claims

statements that describe the role of a nutrient or ingredient intended to affect normal structure of functions (no disease claims)

1) sat fats, sodium, starch, and processed carbs

2) vitamins and minerals

Gluten Free diets are often higher in _______________ and lower in ______________

Not = synthetic fertilizers, transgenic modification, ionizing radiation, antibiotics, and GH

25% less

**In order for something to be claimed as reduced calories, fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, sodium, sugars than reference product, what percent must it be reduced?

--5 or less percent daily value = low

What is the 5/20 rule

Yes!

**Should we label all foods containing genetically modified organisms

Are you serious lol?

**Do we need to label everything that contains DNA

1) Conventional crossbreeding --hybrids, no safety testing, no regulation

2) Transgenics --addition of 1-4 genes from another genome, safety testing required, needs FDA approval for use in food

3) Mutagenesis --use of chemicals or ionizing radiation to miss up genome, no safety testing, no regulation

4) Gene Editing --tweaking plant genome, use of CRISPR, no safety testing, no regulation

What are the types of plant breeding

Conventional crossbreeding

Type of plant breeding that creates hybrids and there is no safety testing or regulations for

Transgenics

type of plant breeding where there is an addition of 1-4 genes from another genome and safety testing is required and needs the FDA's approval

Mutagenesis

type of plant breeding where there is a use of chemicals or ionizing radiation to mix up the genome and there is no safety testing or regulation

Gene Editing

type of plant breeding where there is a tweaking of the plant genome, often using CRISPR and there is no safety testing or regulation

1) Iron

2) Iodine

3) Vitamin A

4) Zinc
