      Old Label vs. New labeling on food-FDA Announement

      by


        Old vs New Label – What’s Different?
        While much of the new label’s look isn’t drastically different from the old label, the information and layout have been revamped. According to the FDA’s announcement, the most notable differences between the old and new label include:
        * Increasing the type size for “Calories,” “servings per container,” and the “Serving size” declaration, and bolding the number of calories and the “Serving size” declaration to highlight this information.
        * Requiring manufacturers to declare the actual amount, in addition to percent Daily Value of vitamin D, calcium, iron and potassium. (They can voluntarily declare the gram amount for other vitamins and minerals.)
        * Changing the footnote to better explain what percent Daily Value means. It will read: “*The % Daily Value tells you how much a nutrient in a serving of food contributes to a daily diet. 2,000 calories a day is used for general nutrition advice.”
        * Adding the “Added Sugars” declaration directly beneath the listing for “Total Sugars.”
        * Removing “Calories from Fat” because research shows the type of fat is more important than the amount.
        * Serving sizes must be based on amounts of foods and beverages that people are actually eating, not what they should be eating.

        Image source: U.S. Food and Drug Administration
        Now that you have a better understanding of the new label, let’s discuss some labeling strategies you can use to meet these label requirements without causing major disruptions to your business.
        Label Tips for Manufacturers
        Updating your labels can be a pain but with some planning, it can be a much easier process. Below are some suggestions to help you get started on your path to FDA label compliance:
        * Mask old info with cover-up labels: Also known as “block out labels,” this unique label material allows you the ability to completely cover up the old Nutrition Facts while continuing to use the last of your label inventory.
        * Embrace a new label look: Updating labels with the new Nutrition Facts can be the perfect opportunity to evaluate your current label design and try something new or make improvements.

          Sugar Cookies

          by

            Vegan, Gluten Free
            Happily Serves 24

            ALL ORGANIC INGREDIENTS

            COOKIES
            1/2 Cup Vegan butter or butter
            2/3 Cup Monk Fruit
            1 tsp Vanilla extract
            3 Tbsp Chickpea brine or flax egg, or 1 egg
            3/4 tsp baking powder
            1/4 tsp Himalayan Sea salt
            1 2/3 Cups gluten free flour
            2/3 Cup Almond flour
            1/3 Cup Arrowroot
            1 TBSP Almond or nut milk

            FROSTING (optional)
            1/2 Cup vegan butter
            1 1/2 – 2 cups sifted powdered sugar
            1/4 tsp vanilla extract
            1-2 TBSP Almond or nut milk

            Preheat oven to 375 and line baking sheets with parchment paper OR spray with coconut oil spray.
            Add softened vegan butter (not melted or cold) to a mixing bowl and beat/whisk until creamy and smooth.
            Add monk fruit and mix on medium speed until fluffy
            Then add chickpea brine (or other egg substitute) and vanilla and mix again.
            Add baking powder and sea salt and blend well
            Then add gluten free flour blend, almond flour, and arrowroot and mix on low until the ingredients are combined.
            Add almond milk and stir.

            The dough should be thick, moldable and a little difficult to mix at this point. If too soft, continue adding a mixture of gluten free flour blend, almond flour, and arrowroot until a thick, moldable dough is formed. If too thick, thin with a bit more almond milk.

            Transfer dough to the refrigerator and chill for 15 minutes. Once chilled, use a spoonful of about 11/2 TBSP of dough and roll into balls – the dough will still be soft. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets and press down gently with the back or your spoon to smash slightly.
            Or you may roll out the dough on a well-floured surface until about 1/4-inch thick and use cookie cutters dipped in flour before pressing into the dough. Use a floured spatula to gently scoop onto baking sheets.

            Let the dough rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before scooping and baking

            Bake cookies for about 10-12 minutes or until the cookies appear fluffy.
            Cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes.

            To make frosting, add softened vegan butter to a mixing bowl and whisk/beat until soft.
            Sift in powdered sugar in small amounts and mix, add the vanilla and whisk.
            Continue adding powdered sugar until you have spreadable frosting.

            Let the dough rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before scooping and baking.

                What does Eating Healthy Mean?

                1- Mitochondrial Energy Production:

                Mitochondria definition: and organelle found in large number in most cells, in which the biochemical process of energy production occurs. It has an inner and outer layer.

                2-Organic sourced foods: look up EWG.org

                The environmental working group is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to protecting human health and the environment.  Learn what organic means

                U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is a great resource

                3- Delayed food allergens: and allergy is an adverse reaction due to immunologic mechanism. A delayed onset food allergy is an auto immune disease that causes your immune system to overact when you ingest certain foods. The immune cells mistakenly attack food particles and treat them as foreign invaders and produce anti-bodies to try to fight what they perceive as toxins. Known allergies we can the immune and digestive systems, draining the body of energy.

                4- 60% Alkalizing   pH scale  0-14   Acid vs. Alkaline

                Certain foods can effect of the acidity and pH of bodily fluids, including the urine or blood, and therefore can be used to treat and prevent disease

                5- Green Food

                Chlorophyll turns into new blood. Green promotes health and energy.

                6- ORAC Value of Food

                Oxygen radical absorbance capacity Is the unit of measurements of antioxidants found in food. (calories are a unit of energy)

                http://superfoodly.com/orac-values/

                7-Refined Sugar

                A healthy adult has approx 5 liters of blood circulating at any given moment and needs 1 teaspoon of sugar available during a fasting state. That’s all the body needs to function.

                12-ounces of soda or energy drinks typically contain approx 10 tsp of sugar. That raises the blood sugar 10x above what the body needs to function and typically within a matter of minutes.

                 

                1 Teaspoon of Sugar = Approx 4 Grams of Sugar

                Take the total grams of refined sugar & divide by 4 to learn how many teaspoons of sugar you are consuming per serving.

                8-Naturally sweet:

                Think Real food

                9- Fiber: 8-12 grams  per meal.  Average 25-30 grams a day.

                Adds bulk to you diet and aids in digestion.

                Insoluble fiber: found in wheat, bran, vegetables, and whole grains. It helps speed passage of food through the stomach and intestines.

                Soluble Fiber: attacks water and turns into gel, slowing digestion.  Found in foods like oat bran, barley, nuts, seeds, beans, lentils, peas, and some other veggies and fruits.  Can help lower cholesterol.

                10-Raw foods

                Raw foods contain enzymes.  Enzymes help break down food and aid in digestion.

                Proteases: breaks down Protein

                Lipase: breaks down fat

                Amylase: breaks downs carbs

                11- Healthy Preparation Methods

                12-Environmentally Safe Meats and Fish

                EWG.org

                13-Environmentally safe Cookware

                NO TEFLON!

                14-Friends and Family MOODS

                15- Beverage 8oz or less

                16- Burn off what you consume!

                  Organic Foods – Nutrient Density

                  Simply stated, nutrient density means how many nutrients you get from a food, given the number of calories it contains. Nutrient density is a simple way to connect nutrients with calories.

                  What’s In Organic Foods?

                  Consequently, “The nutritive value of crops and their ability to handle pests and diseases is diminished.” The bottom line, Kittredge says, is, “across the board, our foodstuffs are less nutritious than they were. It’s well documented. Between 1940 and 2009, in a basic salad, USDA records show a 55-70 percent decrease in mineral levels.” – Remineralize the Earth

                  We identified 191 matched pairs with valid comparisons of antioxidant, vitamin and mineral levels. Of these, 119 organic samples within the matched pairs had higher nutrient levels, or 62% of the total matched pairs.

                      ALL ORGANIC INGREDIENTS 

                      1 Egg

                      2 Cups Black beans rinsed, drained & cooked

                      One avocado

                      1 TBSP vanilla extract

                      1/2 Cup Coconut Brown sugar

                      2/3 Cup Carob

                      1-2 tsp Coconut oil

                      1/4 tsp baking soda

                      1/4 tsp baking powder

                      1/2 tsp Himalayan Sea Salt

                      1/2 cup dairy free chocolate chips

                      Preheat oven to 350°. Grease an 8 x 8″ baking stone.

                      Mix egg, black beans, avocado, vanilla and sugar in the food processor until smooth.

                      Add the Carob,  coconut oil, baking soda, baking powder and mix again until smooth.

                      Batter needs to be sticky to be fudgy.

                      If you want it thinner add a tablespoon or so of coconut milk.

                      Fold in the chocolate chips spread in the pan and bake for about 25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.

                      Tips:  The food processor is best.  It  blends and hides the consistency of the beans.
