what is the Food Lists system
previously called the Exchange Lists for Meal Planning
developed by the American Dietetic Association (now the
Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics) and the American Diabetes Association
The lists can be used to balance the amounts of carbohydrate, protein, fat, and calories eaten each day. The system was originally used to help individuals with diabetes manage their food plans and stabilize their blood sugar. The Food Lists can also be used successfully for weight management.
classifies foods of similar nutrient and caloric content into groups
changes in 2016 to nutrition label
Serving sizes have been updated to reflect amounts people typically eat; presented in larger, bolder type.
Calories are in larger, bolder type. Calories from fat are no longer listed.
Percent Daily Values have been updated to reflect current research.
For the first time, Added Sugars must be listed separately.
Vitamins A and C have been replaced by Vitamin D and Potassium.
The footnote was revised to better explain Percent Daily Values.
high percent daily value vs low percent daily value
high - >20%
low - <5%
four kind of food claims

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP
formerly called the Federal
Food Stamp Program.
The focus is on nutrition and making healthy food accessible to low-income households.
apply for benefits by completing a state application form. Benefits are provided on an electronic card that is used like an ATM card.
The card is accepted at most grocery stores, as well as some food cooperatives and farm-ers’ markets (Figure 18.7).
Through educational training programs, SNAP helps clients learn to make healthy eating and active lifestyle choices.
`This assistance program supplements food needs for a family, but it is not
enough to purchase a complete nutritionally adequate diet. Families must add money to their SNAP allotment to meet all their nutritional needs.
Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition
Program (SFMNP)
provides low-income seniors with coupons that can be exchanged for eligible foods (fruits, vegetables, honey, and fresh-cut herbs) at farm-ers’ markets, roadside stands, and community-supported agriculture programs.
Commodity Supplemental Food Program
works to improve the
health of older adults with low income by supplementing their diets with nutri-tious foods. A commodity food is a common, mass produced item. CSFP offers foods such as unsweetened canned fruits, low-sodium canned vegetables, low-fat dairy products, whole-grain cereals and pastas, lean meats, poultry, fish, and dry beans.
P, USDA distributes both food and administrative funds to par-ticipating states and Indian Tribal Organizations (ITOs)
send packages - packages arent complete but contain nutrients that are often deficient
Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP)
program provides individuals with limited resources with the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and changed behavior needed to make healthy food choices.

effects of canning food
Canning involves heating foods in sealed containers to destroy organisms that can cause disease or produce toxins. Heat causes changes in texture, color, and nutritive value of food products. Canned foods maintain quality for 1 to 2 years.
efects of aseptic canning
This processing method may use temperatures as high as 302°F (150°C) to sterilize food in as little as one second. This short time minimizes changes to the food product. Sterilized food is then placed in sterilized packages within a sterile environment.
effects of dehydration
Dehydration preserves food by lowering its water content. This stops microbe growth and inactivates enzymes. As food loses water, its weight and size are reduced. Its texture may become leathery or brittle. Flavors often become more concentrated. Treatments used to prevent enzymatic browning may destroy some vitamins in the food.
effects of fermentation
Microbes are added to cause specific enzymatic changes in some food products. As enzymes break down components in the food product, by-products such as carbon dioxide, acidic and lactic acids, and ethanol may be released. These by-products can change the texture, flavor, and keeping quality of foods such as bread, cheeses, and pickles.
effects of freezing
Freezing increases shelf life of food by slowing the growth of microbes and the chemical reaction rate of enzymes. Most frozen foods maintain their quality for three to nine months. Rapid freezing right after harvesting is best for preserving food texture and nutrients. Treatment of fruits and vegetables before freezing helps prevent darkening.
effects of irradiation
Irradiation exposes approved foods to radiant energy that kills bacteria and parasites in the food. This improves food safety and increases shelf life. Irradiation does not change food’s nutritional value or flavo
effects of pasteurizatio
Pasteurization involves heating a food product to 161°F (72°C) for 15 seconds to reduce enzyme activity and destroy pathogens and some spoilage bacteria. This improves food safety and increases shelf life. Pasteurization can affect food flavors and destroy heat-sensitive nutrients, which may be replaced through fortification.
effects of ultrapasteurization
Ultrapasteurization heats a food product to a higher temperature (280°F, 138°C) for a shorter time (2 seconds) than pasteurization. This process also affects food flavors and destroys heat-sensitive nutrients, which may be replaced through fortification. Foods treated with this process can be stored at room temperature until opened.
what food wasthe first to be approved for irradiation
space food for astronaunt
what food is the most common irradiated food
spices
foods that have been approved for iraddiation by FDA
fruits, vegetables, lettuce, spinach, wheat flour, potatoes, fresh shell eggs, pork, poultry, and red meat.
