1. Which food item should be recommended to prevent choking in toddlers?

• A. Banana slices
• B. Popcorn
• C. Hot dogs
• D. Carrot sticks

2. Which of the following is NOT required on a food label or nutrition facts panel?

• A. Nutrition facts panel
• B. Ingredients in descending order by weight
• C. The % RDA of ALL the vitamins and minerals in the product
• D. Essential warnings, such as common allergies

Correct answer: C

Rationale: According to food labeling regulations, every food label or nutrition facts panel must include a nutrition facts panel, list of ingredients in descending order by weight, and essential warnings such as common allergies. However, it is not mandatory to list the % Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of ALL the vitamins and minerals in the product. Only certain vitamins and minerals, deemed significant to public health, are required to be listed. Therefore, the notion that the % RDA of ALL vitamins and minerals must be displayed is incorrect. Choices A, B, and D are required elements on a food label, making them incorrect answers.

• B. breaks down proteins

• A. 10-35%

• C. 40-50%
• D. 45-65%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Carbohydrates should ideally make up 45-65% of your total daily caloric intake, according to the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs). This range provides the necessary energy for bodily functions and activities. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they fall outside the recommended range for carbohydrate intake based on the DRIs.

5. The following are all classes of nutrients except:

• A. protein
• B. fat

• D. phytochemicals

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Phytochemicals are not considered a class of nutrients.

Therefore, the correct answer is D.
