Campbells tomato soup

 






Campbell tomato soup 





Why might I have chosen this product?

The main reason I chose this product is that it's really good with a grilled cheese sandwich from the perspective of wanting to get a different variety of food in the mix. I grew up having tomato soup for a weekend meal, especially during the cold months. 

what is something I don't understand about the nutrition label?

The one key thing that I don't quite follow on the label is the amount of protein it has in the soup per serving. It seems a little low for the service quality.

when it comes to protein we would need a certain amount of it to stay energized in our everyday life. You might be wondering what are the possible ways in which we could go about a certain amount of food that we eat over some time. "Harvard School of public health" defines protein as the building blocks in about twenty-plus amino acids that make up what our body eventually breaks down and turns into energy. 

when it comes to the percent daily value in accordance that it puts out about 9% on protein for every can that is sold off a shelf in a supermarket. This would make you want to analyze the possibilities of how we can furthermore try and change the aspect that tomato soup is considered to be a healthy choice for a meal. 

There are a total of a certain amount of calories that come to the sense of wanting to bring out the certain kinds of ways in which we could go about the number of calories in the protein for the food label I chose. It came out to around 8 calories for every can you get off the shelf.

I multiplied the number of proteins in Campbell tomato soup by four. 

what exactly are fats? 

well, it is defined as some of the food we consume in our body daily that contains three branches of fats that are unsaturated, trans, and saturated fats. 

what ingredients contain fat?

wheat flour: contains about 2 grams of fat per serving

Tomato puree: It does contain fat in about little under a gram per serving

sugar: contains no fat 

celery extract: does have some fat contents

garlic oil: contains no fats

types of fats that my food item contains?

On the food label, there is no fat in the tomato soup that is sold all across the United States. 

well, I would take the amount of sugar and carbohydrates and type that by 4 to get the number of calories that seem to be contributing to fat. 


are the ingredients food or additives?


water:



this is described as food.




Flour:



It identifies as a food that is used in multiple recipes. The main reason flour is added is that it will help thicken the soup altogether.


citric acid: 




It's an additive that adds flavor to the soup and other drinks. The additive is used to being able to add some sweetness to the tomato soup itself. 


Tomato puree:



It is a canned tomato sauce that is cut up and blended into a thick sauce. This tomato sauce is the basis of the soup that it is made up of since its tomato soup. It contains tomatoes mostly.


Sugar:



It's a food that provides some simple carbohydrates. The main reason why sugar is put into the soup is to mainly counteract the acidy of the food. 


Ascorbic acid:




It's a vitamin C that can be found in some of the fruit that we consume daily. This is so your soup does not darken as quickly for the shelf life when you haven't opened it yet.



celery extract:




It's an additive that uses in all types like meat or other types of food. The celery helps bring out the sweetness of the soup itself.

It may reduce the risk for some heart conditions that you may get if you don't get enough vitamin C.

    In terms of trying to get more minerals and vitamins through the use of supplements and other forms of trying to get the missing link in our diet. You might be asking yourself why is this so important for our overall health. "choosing foods each day that are rich in vitamins and minerals is the best way to give your body what it needs to be healthy"(Patel, 2023). The idea is that we need be very careful about how we go about how we want to get more vitamins the use vegetables.
