*NOTE: ★New labels edited to match U.S.D.A food labels! While the food labels in the “Food Label Reading” activity, the “Interactive Food Label,” and many PowerPoint slides are now the NEW U.S.D.A. labels, because the U.S.D.A. food labels are so new, I was not able to find online digital copies of all the 42 labels for the products in the “Scavenger Hunt.”
So, I took the time to use data from several food label databanks to edit the 42 food labels myself so they closely matched the new U.S.D.A. labels!
