Introductory Message

For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Technology and Livelihood Education 9 Project CAP-LRE Alternative

Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on Packaged Food Items: Safety Procedures, Methods

and Labeling.

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by educators from

public institutions to assist you, the teacher or facilitator, in helping the learners meet

the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social,

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent

learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this also aims to help

learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking into consideration their

needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of the

module:

As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module. You

also need to keep track of the learners’ progress while allowing them to manage their

own learning. Furthermore, you are expected to encourage and assist the learners as

they do the tasks included in the module.

For the learner:

Welcome to the Technology and Livelihood Education 9 Project CAP-LRE Alternative

Delivery Mode (ADM) Module on Packaged Food Items: Safety Procedures, Methods

What is It

Safety Procedures, Methods and Labeling

Safety Procedures in Packaging Foods

Use clean and uncontaminated packaging materials that are suitable for the

food. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use.

Clean and sanitize the food packaging area; maintain food packaging

machinery with food grade lubricants and make sure these are not

contaminated.

Store packaging materials away from chemicals, allergens and other possible

contaminants.

Label food appropriately at the same time of packaging.

Methods of Food Packaging

Food packaging comes in a wide variety of methods. It is often a science of

making the materials look attractive to the consumer, while at the same time keeping

the food fresh and easy to eat.

Home Canned Foods

According to the National Center for Home Food Preservation, one of the oldest

and most common methods of food packaging in homes is the use of home canning.

Historically, home canning was one of the first methods that were used to store

foods in large quantities, particularly in rural areas where farms were abundant. Some

of the concerns with this type of food packaging include the cleanliness of the jars

when food is placed in them and that the fruits and vegetables are thoroughly cooked

before canning. The seals also need to be airtight to prevent the growth of botulism.

Freezing Food

According to Julie Garden-Robinson of North Dakota State University, freezing is

another common method of packaging food. Freezing can be done with a variety of

methods.

Most often, it is vegetables that are frozen, although berries and other fruits can

also lend themselves to being frozen. When freezing vegetables, make sure that they

are thoroughly clean and cooked if that is appropriate. Certain vegetables are not good

candidates for freezing. In order to preserve the food completely, make sure that the

package is airtight to prevent freezer burn which can ruin the food.

Canned Foods

Canning foods as a method of food processing have been around since the mid-

1800s. In the early days of canned foods, lead was used to line the cans and seal the

top of the can. This, unfortunately, resulted in deaths as lead poisoning occurred.

However, with improved technology, safely canned foods became more

abundant and the industry of food packaging expanded extensively. According to the

6

National Center for Food Preservation, foods that are canned commercially are

cooked prior to being placed in the can in order to prevent E. coli contamination.

Canned foods come in a wide variety, ranging from meat to vegetables to fruit to

refrigerated bread dough.

Foil Packaging

One of the innovative methods of commercial food packaging is foil wrapping. Foil

wraps are often pouches that are filled and then the bottom and top of the pouch is

sealed with a heat seal similar to those used with commercial frozen packaging.

According to Free Patents Online, foil packaging allows the foods to be sealed in

the package without losing any residual moisture that may still be in the food. The best

foods to package in this manner are usually dried fruits, baked goods or grain products.

Labeling of Packaged Food

Food label is the primary means of manufacturers to communicate with the

consumers about a product. They are used to attract consumers as much as to inform

them the contents of the product. Food labels are effective tools for marketing, but the

manufacturer has the responsibility to ensure that the food label is accurate and in

compliance to all applicable regulations and that it is truthful and not misleading.

The following must appear on the label:

name under which the product is sold

list of ingredients

quantity of certain ingredients

net quantity

date of minimum durability

any special storage instructions or conditions of use

name or business name and address of the manufacturer or packager

place of origin of the foodstuff if its absence might mislead the consumer to a

material degree

instructions for use where necessary

beverages with more than 1.2% alcohol by volume must declare their actual

alcoholic strength

The label must present an accurate description of the contents, so that consumers

are not deceived about the product. Food labels should be clear and understandable

in order to assist consumers who want to make better-informed food and dietary

choices.
