5. U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) defines a processed food as one that has undergone any changes to its natural state—any raw agricultural commodity subjected to washing, cleaning, milling, cutting, chopping, heating, pasteurizing, blanching, cooking, canning, freezing, drying, dehydrating, mixing, packaging, or other procedures that alter the food from its natural state. The food may include the addition of other ingredients such as preservatives, flavors, nutrients and other food additives or substances approved for use in food products, such as salt, sugars, and fats.

6. Institute of Food Technologists includes additional processing terms like storing, filtering, fermenting, extracting, concentrating, microwaving, and packaging.

8. What is food processing? The process of transforming raw agricultural products, like grains, vegetables, meat, or milk, into end products to be sold to consumers. Raw Products Straight from the farm End Products Ready to be purchased by consumer Tomato Wheat Pork Milk Carrots Salsa Flour Bacon Cheese Baby carrots Food processing is what happens between the farm and the consumer.

9. Food Manufacturers The companies that process foods are sometimes called food manufacturers

10. Pepsi

11. San Miguel Food Corporation

12. Raw product from the farm Wheat Grows in a field, and the seed is harvested Entire wheat seed is ground into whole wheat flour and packaged. Wheat seed is separated into its parts. The endosperm is ground into white flour and packaged. Wheat seed is ground into flour, and additional ingredients are added to make pasta.

13. Raw product from the farm Cranberries Grow on a bush Wash and bag whole berries. Wash berries, dehydrate with added sugar, and package. Wash berries, cook with added sugar and other ingredients, then seal in can.

25. Levels of Food Processing The amount of processing varies from food to food Minimally Processed Foods that are washed, peeled, sliced, juiced, frozen, dried, or pasteurized. Moderately Processed In addition to being washed, peeled, sliced, etc. these foods may also be cooked, ingredients mixed, and some preservatives added. Highly Processed Many ingredients are added to enhance flavor, add vitamins and minerals, and extend shelf life. These foods are mostly or fully prepared for eating.

26. Classify the following foods into:

27. T hree categories of processed foods A. Minimally processed food B. Processed food ingredients C. Highly processed food

28. Minimally processed foods Fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, meat and milk are often sold in minimally processed forms.

29. Minimally processed foods Minimal forms of processing include washing, peeling, slicing, juicing and removing inedible parts. Some nutritionists also characterize freezing, drying and fermenting as minimal forms of processing

30. Minimally processed foods To prolong shelf life and inhibit the growth of pathogens , perishable foods may have preservatives added to them, or they may be sealed in sterile packaging. Some minimally processed foods and beverages may be exposed to controlled amounts of heat, or in some cases radiation, to inactivate pathogens. Milk, for example, is commonly heat pasteurized .

31. Processed food ingredients Processed food ingredients are rarely eaten alone; they are typically used in cooking or in the manufacture of highly processed foods.

32. Processed food ingredients To create these ingredients, starting materials such as grains and oil seeds may be milled, refined, crushed or exposed to chemicals. Unlike minimal forms of processing, these techniques radically change the nature of the original raw materials Processed food ingredients tend to be nutrient-poor , meaning they are high in calories relative to the amount of vitamins, minerals and other key dietary nutrients .

33. Highly Processed foods Highly processed foods are made from combinations of unprocessed food, minimally processed food and processed food ingredients Many are designed with consumer convenience in mind. They are often portable, can be eaten anywhere (while driving, working at the office and watching TV, for example) and require little or no preparation.

34. Highly Processed foods Highly processed animal products include smoked, canned, salted and cured meats and products made from extruded remnants of meat, such as nuggets, hot dogs and some sausages and burgers. Many vegetarian alternatives to meat are also highly processed. Techniques used are mixing, baking, frying, curing, smoking and the addition of vitamins and minerals.

35. Processed foods… The Quicker, the Better? Does the degree to which a food has been processed tell you something about how healthy it is? Can you think of a highly processed food that you consider healthy, or a minimally processed food that you consider unhealthy?
