Ever wondered what's in your food and is it good for you? This module introduces students to the health attributes of the main food groups Cereal Products, Fruit and Vegetables, Dairy products, Meat/Fish/Eggs. Students will learn how production and manufacturing processes influence the health attributes of foods. Throughout the course you will learn about where foods come from (e.g. organic versus inorganic), how foods are made, the nutritional quality of food and potential health benefits/risks. Students will also learn about the role of additives in foods and food regulation and how to produce effective posters. The goal of the module is to help students make informed food choices based on scientific evidence that can help to maintain health.
