Question 1

To be defined as a "good" source of calcium,a food must contain

Accepted Answer

According to the FDA, a food must contain at least 10% of the Daily Value for calcium in 1 serving of the food to be considered a "good" source of calcium.

Question 2

Daily Values are based on which sets of dietary standards?

Accepted Answer

Daily Values are based on Reference Daily Intakes (RDIs) and Daily Reference Values (DRVs).

Question 3

Which dietary standard values vary with calorie intake?

Accepted Answer

The dietary standard values for fat intake vary with calorie intake. As calorie intake increases, so does the recommended amount of fat intake.

Question 4

Which is required on a food package?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which is required on a food package?
...

Question 5

Which claims are NOT closely regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)?

Accepted Answer

Structure/function claims are not closely regulated by the FDA. These claims describe the role of a nutrient or dietary ingredient in affecting the normal structure or function of the human body, but cannot make claims about disease prevention or treatment. Health claims and nutrient content claims are closely regulated by the FDA and must meet specific criteria in order to be used on food packaging or in advertising.

Question 6

If a can of soup provides 4 servings and has 100 kcal per serving,how many kcal are in the entire can?

Accepted Answer

If a can of soup provides 4 servings and each serving has 100 kcal, then the total number of kcal in the can will be 4 x 100 = 400 kcal. Therefore, the correct answer is C) 400.

Question 7

The nutrient standards used on Nutrition Facts panels are called

Accepted Answer

The nutrient standards used on Nutrition Facts panels are Daily Values. Recommended Dietary Allowances (A) and Estimated Average Requirements (C) are used as guidance for nutrient intake by individuals. Dietary Reference Intakes (D) are a set of nutrient reference values that include the RDA and EAR.

Question 8

Foods that provide a greater contribution to nutrient needs than calorie needs are said to be

Accepted Answer

Nutrient dense foods provide a large amount of nutrients relative to the number of calories they contain. Choosing these foods helps to meet nutrient needs without exceeding calorie needs, promoting overall health and weight management.

Question 9

Which is true about the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs)?

Accepted Answer

All of these responses are true. The DRIs apply to people in Canada and the U.S., differ by age group, include Recommended Dietary Allowances and Tolerable Upper Intake Levels, and were created by the Food and Nutrition Board.

Question 10

Which Dietary Reference Intake (DRI)is set high enough to meet the needs of 97 to 98% of the population?

Accepted Answer

Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) are set high enough to meet the needs of 97 to 98% of the population. DRIs are a set of nutrient-based reference values that include RDAs, but also include other values like Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (UL) and Adequate Intake (AI). Estimated Energy Requirements (EER) and Estimated Average Requirements (EAR) are not nutrient-based reference values and are not set high enough to meet the needs of 97 to 98% of the population.

Question 11

Which Dietary Reference Intake (DRI)reflects average daily needs?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which Dietary Reference Intake (DRI)reflects average daily...

Question 12

Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (ULs)are

Accepted Answer

Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (ULs) are the maximum daily intake level not likely to cause harmful effects. ULs are set for certain nutrients to prevent potential negative health effects from excessive intake. ULs are not nutrient intake goals, and they are not set for all nutrients. They are also not based solely on supplements and highly fortified foods, but rather on all sources of intake.

Question 13

The Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs)for nutrients are

Accepted Answer

RDAs are designed to meet the nutrient needs of 97 to 98% of individuals in a specific life stage, taking into account variations within the population. It is not the minimum amounts needed by an average 70-kg man, nor is it twice as high as almost everyone needs. It is also not just an average requirement for a population.

Question 14

The reference calorie intake for calculating percent Daily Values on Nutrition Facts labels is

Accepted Answer

The reference calorie intake for calculating percent Daily Values on Nutrition Facts labels is 2000 kcal. This is based on the average daily energy intake for adults in the United States. However, individual calorie needs vary depending on factors such as age, gender, weight, and physical activity level.

Question 15

Daily Reference Values are set for

Accepted Answer

Daily Reference Values (DRV) are set for fat, cholesterol, sodium, potassium, carbohydrate, protein, and other nutrients. Therefore, all of the given choices are correct.

Question 16

Food components that must be listed on the Nutrition Facts panel include

Accepted Answer

The Nutrition Facts panel must include information on sugars and dietary fiber, as well as calcium as a mandatory nutrient. Fluoride and B-vitamins are not required to be listed, and monounsaturated fat is an optional nutrient to be included on the panel.

Question 17

Daily Values differ from Recommended Dietary Allowances in that Daily Values

Accepted Answer

Daily Values are used on Nutrition Facts panels and are not age-specific or gender-specific, which differentiates them from Recommended Dietary Allowances. Therefore, all of the given responses are correct.

Question 18

Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs)values are for people who are

Accepted Answer

DRIs are a set of reference values used to assess and plan nutrient intakes for people of all ages, including infants, children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly.

Question 19

An Adequate Intake (AI)is set for a nutrient when

Accepted Answer

An Adequate Intake (AI) is set for a nutrient when too little research is available to establish an RDA. AIs are often established using estimated intakes of healthy populations.

Question 20

The AMDRs do NOT include estimates for intake of

Accepted Answer

The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDRs) provide guidelines for the intake of macronutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, including essential fatty acids, but they do not specify intake levels for essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Essential amino acids are typically considered within the broader context of protein intake rather than specified individually in the AMDRs.
