Food Labels

Instructions

Find three food labels that illustrate that the food it is representing is a good source of one of the

following:

o Calcium o Vitamin A o Vitamin C o Vitamin D o Iron

Provide only one food label per nutrient (so, don’t have three food labels representing a good source of calcium). Take a picture of the food labels and submit them to the dropbox.

On a separate piece of paper, answer the following questions:

1. What food labels did you provide?

2. Were you surprised that any of the foods were good sources of the specific nutrient? Why

or why not?

3. Is the food naturally high in the nutrient for which it is a good source or was the food

fortified?

4. What is the difference “enrichment” and “fortification”?
