Unit review questions
1. Scale a nutrient amount by servings: Fictional case 5: gramsPerServing=6, servings=3. What is the modeled result using the stated method?
Need a hint?
  • Serving size is a label reference, not a personal eating prescription.
  • Grams per serving multiplied by servings gives grams.
2. Compare labels at equal servings: Fictional case 5: AgramsPerServing=9, BgramsPerServing=6, commonServings=2. What is the modeled result using the stated method?
Need a hint?
  • Compare the same nutrient and serving basis.
  • One nutrient difference does not establish a whole diet or personal health ranking.
3. Respect an allergy safety plan: An approved recipe is changed with an unlisted ingredient. What fits?
Need a hint?
  • Never taste a food to test allergy safety.
  • A real safety plan overrides a classroom variety exercise.
4. Separate a food claim from an advertisement: A singer says a product is healthy but gives no supporting information. What fits?
Need a hint?
  • Name the exact promise rather than judging a package by appearance.
  • Amounts need a serving basis; endorsements are not research.

Use the skills in a new task

Two fictional labels with identical serving size list 5 g and 3 g of one nutrient per serving. Compare 2 servings, question a performance slogan and preserve an allergy restriction.

Work on paper or in your own document. Explain the choices you made.

  • Use only the pretend details. Do not share private information about yourself or someone else.
  • Use at least two ideas you practiced in this unit.
  • Show the order or calculation, or point to the clue that helped you choose.
  • Keep the task’s safety rule, help step, or another way to take part.
Compare with a model response

The difference is(5−3)*2=4 g for the same two-serving basis. This single nutrient difference is not a whole-food ranking. A “guaranteed champion” slogan is unsupported by the label. Keep the stated allergy plan and use adult review for any ingredient change; no tasting is required.

A different response can also meet the criteria. Compare the evidence and reasoning, rather than copying the wording.
