Final Answer:
Activity 1:
-
Food Products: Lucky Me! Beef & Bean Instant Noodle, Koko Krunch, Ligo Sardines, Nestlé Milk (in box), Canned Century Eggs
-
Household Products: Raid Max Insect Killer, Downy Fabric Softener, Palmolive Dishwashing Liquid
-
Products for Personal Use: Soap (bar), Colgate Toothpaste, Johnson’s Baby Lotion, Head & Shoulders Shampoo
Activity 2 (example using “Ligo Sardines”):
1. Calories per serving: ~150 kcal (check actual label — this is typical)
2. Serving size: 1 can (≈90 g); servings per container: 1
3. Added nutrients: Salt (sodium), sometimes added vitamins (e.g., Vitamin D), preservatives like sodium benzoate
*(Note: Exact answers depend on real labels — students must read the actual product labels to fill in blanks.)*
Activity 3 & 4: These require comparing real food labels — no single correct answer without specific products. Students should:
- Fill the table using two real food items (e.g., cereal vs. crackers).
- Then answer questions by comparing numbers (e.g., higher carbs = cereal; lower sodium = plain rice cakes).
- For “more nutritious”, choose the one with more vitamins/minerals and less added sugar/sodium per serving.
Question 6 (short answer):
Reading food labels helps me see how much energy (calories), sugar, salt, protein, and vitamins are in my food — so I can pick healthier choices that match what my body needs.
