I am supposed to find 2 food labels that have high chemicals in them. This is the instructions he gave us:
Highlight all CHEMICAL names on the label (DO NOT COUNT wheat, flour, sugar, salt, oils, salt, etc) (however dextrose would count)
please help me find two foods that would count for this assignment?!
I told you what to do in an earlier response. You are making this way too difficult. For example, I went to my cupboard, picked up the first bottle I saw (a major brand of a fat-free dressing) and here is what it has (not counting wheat, flour, sugar, salt, oils, etc).
xanthan gum, soy, lecithin, monoglycerides, monosodium glutamate, lactic acid, phosphoric acid, disodium phosphate, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, calcium disodium ethylenediamminetetraacetic acid, alpha tocopherol, to name some of them. Just pick up some jars and start looking. I don't think anyone here will do your work for you.
Sure! To find two food labels that have high chemicals in them, you will need to carefully read and analyze the ingredients list on various food labels. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to approach this task:
1. **Select food products**: Start by gathering a few food labels from your pantry or by visiting a local grocery store. Choose products that typically include additives or preservatives, such as processed foods, snacks, packaged meals, or frozen foods.
2. **Look for ingredients list**: Locate the ingredients list on each food label. It is usually found on the back or side of the packaging. The list may be in small print, so you might need to use a magnifying glass or zoom in if you're checking online.
3. **Identify chemical names**: Take a closer look at each ingredient and search for chemical names. These can be complex, scientific-sounding terms. Exclude common ingredients like wheat, flour, sugar, salt, oils, and regular salt, as instructed. However, note that dextrose should be included.
4. **Highlight the chemical names**: When you come across chemical names as per the given criteria, highlight them on the food label. Ensure you are only highlighting the actual chemical additives present in the product.
5. **Repeat until finding two labels**: Continue examining the ingredients list of different food labels until you have highlighted the required number of chemical ingredients, in this case, two. Make sure to choose products that you think have a relatively higher number of chemical additives.
Remember, the objective is to identify food products with high chemical content, so focus on processed or heavily packaged items that commonly contain additives. If you're unable to find the desired number of chemical additives on the initial labels you choose, try different products or brands.
