Document Summary

In this lesson you will learn about ingredients that may be used to replace or substitute for fat and sugar components in foods. You will also learn about the factors that affect our perception of food quality, from the perspective of appearance, flavour and texture. We will examine the basic tastes and the food constituents that elicit those tastes. Flavour enhancers will be briefly covered in terms of what they are, how they function, and why they are used in foods. After completing this lesson, you will be able to: Compare and contrast the different types of fat replacers and alternative sweeteners used in foods. Discuss the role that sensory parameters play in our selection and perceptions of food. Kroger, m, meister, k. and kava, r. 2006.

SUMMARY: Sales of non-GMO foods are outpacing organic foods at U.S. grocery stores. This has important implications for the organic food industry which is responding with marketing to educate consumers. Organic foods are also non-GMO. Organic foods are certified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture which sets standards for the use of chemicals, antibiotics and animal welfare. The federal government regulates foods that are labeled organic, but not those labeled non-GMO. The distinction matters to companies because it can take years to be certified organic. It costs thousands of dollars initially and annual renewal is required. Non-GMO sales increased about 70% a year since 2013. This is significant to organic food companies because sales in one category can come at the expense of the other. Non-GMO and organic foods compete for shelf space. There is the perception consumers place a higher value on the non-GMO label than they do on certified organic foods. Non-GMO costs less and customers may feel it is just as good as organic. California Certified Organic Farmers developed a label to communicate that "Organic is non-GMO and more." Other cooperatives are considering marketing efforts to clarify that organic standards encompass non-GMO.

CLASSROOM APPLICATION: As consumer behavior changes, companies need to adapt. Organic foods are both non-GMO and they meet additional federal standards for certification which include the use of pesticides, antibiotics and animal welfare. Consumers seem confused about the differences between non-GMO and organic. This is important for organic food companies because the price of their foods is typically higher than those which are only non-GMO. Educating consumers is the goal of marketing efforts to clarify "Organic is non-GMO and more." The distinction is more important because of changes in consumer behavior which are driving shopping decisions. About 49% of consumers who responded to a poll thought non-GMO was important when shopping for food and beverages while 47% indicated the importance for organic. Consumers are interested in the safety and characteristics of the foods they buy and organic foods face new competition from efforts to market non-GMO foods.

QUESTIONS:
1. (Introductory) Define the term "non-GMO." Why would shoppers demand either non-GMO or organic foods?
2. Compare and contrast the standards and certification process for the non-GMO as compared to the certified organic label.
3. Discuss the efforts of organic food producers to market their products and educate shoppers about what organic certification entails.
4. Some producers think sales of non-GMO foods will boost sales of organic foods. Do you agree? Explain whyâ¦

Organic vs. Non-GMO Labels. Whoâs Winning?Organic and non-GMO companies push for prominenceâand meaning for their labels

Natural-foods makers have spent years going after the industry establishment. Now, they are taking on each other.Surging sales of foods marketed as made without genetically modified crops are outpacing sales of food labeled organic in U.S. grocery stores. That is frustrating some organic companies and farmers, who invest significant sums to meet government organic standards and to get their foods certified.

The organic industry is responding with marketing campaigns touting that its foodsâin addition to being made without genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, as such crops are knownâalso abide by other requirements.

For example, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which has certified organic foods since 2002, requires that producers also keep out most synthetic pesticides and certain fertilizers, and that animals used to produce organic food can go outdoors year-round and arenât given hormones or antibiotics.

âOrganic is non-GMO,â said Cathy Calfo, executive director of California Certified Organic Farmers, a trade group that recently started promoting a new label to highlight the difference. âNon-GMO is not organic.

The federal government doesnât regulate non-GMO labeling. Instead, certification is done by private groups, mainly the Non-GMO Project. The Bellingham, Wash., nonprofit doesnât prohibit the use of synthetic pesticides on crops used as ingredients, or ensure animal-welfare standards. But it says it tests more stringently to ensure GMOs arenât inadvertently mixed into ingredients during transportation or production.

The distinctions might seem like hairsplitting, but they matter for companies. Earning the Non-GMO Projectâs imprimatur or the USDAâs organic certification can take months or years, depending on the item and the applicant backlog. Each can cost thousands of dollars initially, and must be renewed annuallyâa significant expense for smaller producers. Prices for organic and non-GMO ingredients also are significantly higher than regular ones.

GMOs have become a focus of skeptical consumers. U.S. government agencies and international bodies including the World Health Organization long have said that GMOsâwhose DNA is altered to withstand pests or weedkilling spraysâare safe. But the technologyâs critics say it facilitates harmful use of pesticides and that GMOsâ safety for human consumption isnât proven.

That doubt has driven rapid growth for non-GMO foods, which this year are on pace to surpass those of food bearing the USDAâs certified organic seal, according to data compiled by research company Spins LLC.

ENLARGE Non-GMO sales soared by an average of about 70% annually from 2013 through this year, and are expected to top $13 billion this year. That is five times the rate for food tracked by Spins that bears the organic seal, sales of which total nearly $11 billion for the 52 weeks ended Nov 1. The Spins data donât include sales from Whole Foods Market Inc., a major seller of both categories.

The USDAâs organic certification applies to foods that are 95% or more organic. The Organic Trade Association, whose numbers include estimates of Whole Foods sales and some other retailers not measured by Spins, touts the much larger figure of $35.9 billion in 2014 for foods containing 70% or more organic ingredients.

One categoryâs growth can come at the expense of anotherâs, since specialty foods often compete for the same limited shelf space in supermarkets. Last year, foods labeled non-GMO claimed 3.7% of total food sales in U.S. grocery stores, more than the 3.5% for organic items, according to market-research firm Nielsen NV. About 49% of consumers polled by Nielsen called non-GMO an important factor in food-and-beverage shopping, versus 47% for organic.

Organic-food companies say many consumers are confused about the labelsâ different attributes. Vernon Peterson, owner of Abundant Harvest Organics in Kingsburg, Calif., says he often receives inquiries about the peaches, persimmons and other crops that his company distributes to customers including Kroger Co. and Whole Foods.

âEven though we [are] a 100% organic company, I get a question or two a week, âis any of your produce genetically modified?ââ he said. âWe see the consumer putting a higher value on the non-GMO than the organic label.â

Megan Westgate, executive director of the Non-GMO Project, said the ârelationship between non-GMO and organic is probably the most politically sensitive thing we deal with, and weâre careful not to undermine consumer trust in the organic label.â She said consumer confusion around the definition of organic predates the Non-GMO Project, but she acknowledged that some organic-food producers have expressed concerns about her group infringing on their turf.

âWe see the consumer putting a higher value on the non-GMO than the organic label.â

âVernon Peterson, owner of Abundant Harvest Organics

Rising non-GMO food sales are âa two-edged sword,â said Oren Holle, a longtime organic farmer in Bremen, Kan. While some consumers may migrate from those to organic foods, Mr. Holle said he worries about âa perception out there that if I buy the non-GMO itâs a little less costly when you run up to the checkout counter, and itâs just about as good.â

Mr. Holle last year participated in an online-video campaign trumpeting organic foodâs purported superiority over items that are only non-GMO. The Organic Farmersâ Agency for Relationship Marketing Inc., a cooperative that funded the campaign, is now discussing marketing materials that brand organic as âthe real non-GMO.â

California Certified Organic Farmers, based in Santa Cruz, Calif., debuted its new label in March that boasts âOrganic is non-GMO & more.â The labels are designed to attract shoppers looking for non-GMO foods while highlighting organicâs curbs on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, said Ms. Calfo.

Mr. Peterson hopes the new label, which he has added to Abundant Harvest products, will clarify things. âWhen you have a confused public, itâs never good,â he said.

Some bigger organic brands are more sanguine. George Siemon, chief executive of Organic Valley, the largest U.S. cooperative of organic farms, said that while some consumers may find non-GMO easier to understand, it ultimately will boost organic-food sales by drawing more attention to how food is produced.Still, Mr. Siemon said that Organic Valley is considering adding a non-GMO label to some of its products.

Overall Caloric Distribution (10 points)

Average kcals consumed ________________

Percent of goal for kcal _________________________ (kcals consumed divided by recommended kcal * 100)

Since carbohydrate and fat are largely used to meet kcal needs, it makes sense to look at our intake in terms of percent of total kcal rather than in absolute gram amounts.

Record the percent of kcals coming from carbohydrate and fat in your diet in the chart below. Do not confuse the percent of kcals with the percent of a goal.

To calculate, use the following formulas:

Determine number of kcals from each macronutrient consumed on an average day

kcals from CHO = grams of CHO consumed per avg. day X 4 kcals per g CHO

kcals from FAT = grams of FAT consumed per avg. day X 9 kcals per g FAT

Divide number of kcals from each macronutrient by total day kcals consumed

% of total daily kcals from CHO = kcals from CHO / total daily kcals

% of total daily kcals from FAT = kcals from FAT/ total daily kcals

(Ex. 200 grams of CHO consumed * 4 kcals per g CHO = 800 kcals of carbohydrate. 800 kcals of carbs / 2400 kcals total consumed = .33 * 100 = 33% or 33% of kcals came from carbohydrate)

Macronutrient	Recommended percent of kcal (Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range - AMDR)	Percent of kcal from nutrient in your diet
Carbohydrate	45 - 65 % of kcals
Fat	20-35% of kcals

Did you consume the appropriate percent of kcal from carbohydrates, protein and fat? If not, how might you adjust your kcal to better meet the recommendations and what changes in your food intake could accomplish this?

Carbohydrate Intake - Further Analysis (6 points)

*note: if you are using myplate, ignore the recommendation of 130 grams for total carbohydrate on your printout.....that is a minimum not a recommended amount

3. Average grams of fiber consumed ______________________.

4. Percent of goal for fiber ________________________ (average fiber consumed divided by fiber recommended * 100)

5. Are you getting enough fiber (100% of goal for question 4)? If not, how might you fix this?

6. Take a look at your list of foods....are lots of your kcals coming from sugar? Only 10% or less of your total kcals should be coming from refined (added) sugar...how do you think you did? ______________________________________________

Fat Intake - Further Analysis (8 points)

7. Average grams of saturated fat consumer per day:_______________________

8. Percent of kcals from saturated fat per day: ______________________________ (Hint: average grams of sat. fat consumed times 9 kcals per gram divided by total kcals consumed)

9. Did you consume more that 10% of your kcals from saturated fat? If so, how might you reduce saturated fat?

(you do not need to be worried about consuming too little since there are no essential fatty acids that are saturated)

note: if you are using diet analysis plus to evaluate your diet, you can look at the spreadsheet report to see how much of a given nutrient is in each food that you ate.. For example, if your saturated fat were high, you could look at the spreadsheet report to see what foods contributed the most saturated fat to the diet. You can then think about reducing portion size or making substitutions

10. Average milligrams of cholesterol per day: ____________________________________. Are you consuming more than 300 milligrams of cholesterol? If so, how might you reduce this?

11. Are you consuming foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids? If so, what are they? If not, how might you increase your intake of omega-3 fatty acids?

Protein Intake - Further Analysis (6 points)

12. What is your protein RDA? (Multiply your body weight in kilograms by 0.8 g PRO/kg)

13. Are you consuming an appropriate amount of protein? (Recommendation is to consume a minimum of the RDA amount and a maximum of twice the RDA)

14. If you are not within the range indicated in question 13, indicate how you might adjust your diet.
