  1. Pre-Packaged Deli Lunches 2008 CBCJ Class Item By: Kasey Bozeman

  2. Why Pre-Packaged Deli Lunches? • Convenient • No Preparation Needed • Nutritional • Variety Available • Inexpensive • Fun

  3. Basic Information • Pre-packaged deli lunches are meals pre-packaged and ready-to-eat for lunch. Usually these foods allow the consumer to “create” his or her own meal with the ingredients in packaging (ex. pizzas, cracker sandwiches, etc.) • Things to consider when judging pre-packaged deli lunches: • meal choices • nutrition • optional drink, dessert, etc. • cost

  4. Nutrition Vocabulary • Calorie - the amount of energy you get from a serving of food • Fat - a nutrient that supplies the body with energy; too much fat can lead to health problems • Sodium - (salt) a nutrient that occurs in foods naturally in small amounts, but is usually added for flavoring

  5. Pre-Packaged Deli Lunch Nutrition • Positives: • Most usually contain protein-rich foods like meat and cheese. • Often provide half of the meat (2.5 ounces) and dairy products (1.5 ounces) needed per day. • Grains are usually also included, often in the form of crackers. Whole grains are better than refined products. Look for whole grains!

  6. Pre-Packaged Deli Lunch Nutrition • Negatives: • Usually no fruits or vegetables provided. • Sometimes candy included for dessert. • Occasionally 100% fruit juice is included, but instead it’s usually a “fruit drink” or punch full of sugar. Look for 100% fruit juice, low-fat or fat free milk, or water! • Sodium: The DRV for sodium is 2400mg. Most deli pre-packaged lunches have 1000mg. Look for low sodium! • Fat: The DRV for fat is 70g. Lots of pre-packaged deli lunches are high in fat. Look for “low fat” or “lean” products. Even if the label claims this, you still need to compare labels!

  7. Variety of Pre-Packaged Deli Lunches • There are lots different types of pre-packaged deli lunches. • Here’s a long and incomplete list of examples: cracker stackers, pizza, wraps, nachos, hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken dunks, chicken shakers, pizza dunks, and tacos. And just think, this doesn’t include the different meats, cheeses, toppings, etc. offered! • When you are judging this class, read the scenario carefully to see if it requires a certain type of pre-packaged deli lunch.

  8. Possible Ideas to Consider … • Type Requested – crackers, pizza, etc. • Items Packaged – does it have a drink or dessert? • Nutrition – low in calories, fat, sodium • Cost
