Document Summary
What is a processed food: food processing is any deliberate change in a food that occurs before it"s available for us to eat. It can be as simple as freezing or drying food to preserve nutrients and freshness, or as complex as formulating a frozen meal with the right balance of nutrients and ingredients: examples of processed foods. Packaged foods labeled natural or organic, such as cereals, fresh meat and poultry, and jarred baby foods. Foods with health and nutrition claims on the label, such as may reduce risk of heart disease, low in fat or high in calcium . Foods fortified with nutrients such as fiber, vitamin d and omega-3 fatty acids. Foods prepared in quick-service and free-dinging restaurants, cafeterias and food courts, sports arenas, coffee shops and other locations. Let"s talk about water: more than an essential ingredient and resource, a tool in food product development and base of food chemistry.
