Assess process control, hygiene/safety, measurements, result and explanation.
Activity 310 minutes	Give an individual food case requiring a specific recommendation or calculation about Effects of processed foods and sugary drinks on health.	Evaluate a food label/menu or 24-hour intake and write two specific improvements linked to health evidence.	Check whether the recommendation fits the person/food/context rather than being generic.
