Food Ingredients

Penn State Extension recently produced an educational unit on Food Ingredients intended for use by ninth to tenth graders. The unit focuses on food allergies and the use of functional ingredients made from allergenic foods.

To survive, people with allergies must be able to read and successfully interpret ingredient lists on food packages. The Food Ingredient unit introduces the student to the world of food ingredients from the perspectives of those with allergies, those who process and sell foods, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It includes experiments ("Taking Milk Apart" and "Ingredient Function"), sensory analysis, case studies, community surveys, a game, and a debate about Olestra. To obtain a copy, send $30 to:

University Park, PA 16802

Note: This unit is also available to loan by calling Melissa Bardsley (970-491-7334).
