Marc Food Analysis

I did research on three products. Those products were chewy choc. Chip granola bar made my Quakers, normal goldfish made by Pepperidge, and oats 'n Honey (crunchy) made by Nature Valley. For Quakers the serving size is 1 bar, with 100 calories, 3g of fat, 1g of saturated fat, 0mg of cholesterol, 75mg of sodium, 17g of carbohydrates, 1g of dietary Fiber, 1g of protein, and also contains calcium and Iron. This product has the least amount of calories and grams of fat.  The normal goldfish the serving size is 55 pieces, with 150 calories, 6g of fat, 5g of saturated fat, 0mg of cholesterol, 230mg of sodium, 20g of carbohydrates, less than 1g of Dietary fiber, and 3g of protein. It has all the nutrients calcium, Iron, Vitamin, Vitamin C. The last product I did research on is oats ‘n honey (crunchy) nature valley. This serving size is 2 bars, but it has also has the serving size of (one depending on your preference). So I decide to base my info on 1 bar so it’s closer to the rest of the  products. So it has 95 total calories, 3g of fat, 0g of saturated fat, 0mg of cholesterol, 80mg of sodium, 1g of dietary fiber, 2g of protein, and it has iron.

 

All of the serving sizes seem realistic, but the goldfish. The reason I say that cause u don’t just 55 pieces out of the bag, you just keep taking the goldfish out of the bag till you are not hungry anymore. So when it says 55 pieces I don’t agree with that serving size. The serving sizes are rather close except the goldfish because it’s in pieces. The bigger the serving size the worst it will look, but the smaller it is it will look like it is good for you. The claims goldfish has is that it has not artificial preservatives and it has 0g of trans fat, and so right there the only claims I read were about good things not bad things. My calculations did not contradict the products claims. The order of the product does not have any effect on they products nutritional content. I have concluded that Quakers is the worst food to eat out of my products. I say this because the goldfish has all the nutrients and the nature valley if you put it as the same serving size the nature valley is better. I also concluded that company’s try to put the littlest serving size possible so that they can look better for you.
