Questions and Solutions:

#### 1. What is the serving size of this product?
- Answer: The serving size is 1 cup (236 mL).

#### 2. How many calories per serving are in this product?
- Answer: There are 130 calories per serving.

#### 3. What percent of daily value is the sodium?
- Answer: The sodium content is 5% of the Daily Value (DV).

#### 4. In 2 servings, how much Vitamin A is there?
- Step 1: From the label, 1 serving contains 10% DV of Vitamin A.
- Step 2: For 2 servings, multiply by 2:
\[
10\% \times 2 = 20\%
\]
- Answer: In 2 servings, there is 20% DV of Vitamin A.

#### 5. Based on this food label, would you consider this product to be healthy? Why or why not?
- Analysis:
- Pros:
- High in protein (8g per serving).
- Good source of calcium (30% DV).
- Low in trans fat (0g).
- Contains some vitamins (Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D).
- Cons:
- Relatively high in saturated fat (3g, which is 15% DV).
- Contains a significant amount of sugar (12g per serving).
- Moderate sodium content (125mg, 5% DV).

- Conclusion: This product can be considered somewhat healthy because it provides good amounts of protein and calcium. However, the high sugar content and moderate saturated fat content may make it less ideal for individuals watching their sugar or fat intake. It could be part of a balanced diet but should be consumed in moderation.

Additional Task: Compare 6 Products

The worksheet also asks you to look at 6 different products' food labels and identify three that are healthy and three that are less healthy based on their sodium levels. Here’s how you can approach this:

#### Steps:
1. Identify Sodium Levels: Look at the "Sodium" section of each food label.
2. Classify Products:
- Healthy: Products with lower sodium levels (e.g., < 10% DV per serving).
- Less Healthy: Products with higher sodium levels (e.g., > 20% DV per serving or very high absolute values like 500mg+ per serving).

#### Example Classification:
- Healthy Products:
- Product A: Sodium 50mg (2% DV)
- Product B: Sodium 100mg (4% DV)
- Product C: Sodium 150mg (6% DV)

- Less Healthy Products:
- Product D: Sodium 400mg (17% DV)
- Product E: Sodium 500mg (21% DV)
- Product F: Sodium 600mg (25% DV)
