It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes.

Must discuss all sections for full marks 30 points 2 points = 1 mark (credit same point only once) [15] (b) Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) RDI is the estimated intake of nutrients to achieve healthy living. 1 whole mark for this statement The RDI varies between individuals according to their age and activity level. It represents an approximate amount of each nutrient required each day. Can help individuals to assess whether the food eaten is adequate for their daily need. They can compare the nutritional value of the food eaten with the nutritional requirement. Make definition more explicit Allows individuals to plan meals so that they do not exceed their RDI - Especially important to avoid deficiency diseases - or consuming more energy-giving food than the body can use. RDI is only a guide - can see how diet could be improved to supply RDI s etc. Definition of RDI 1 mark + 4 points 2 points = 1 mark [3] (c) Importance of nutritional information on packaging allows individuals to monitor intake of nutrients - compare with RDI may be on a special diet - diabetic - CHD - hypertension etc. need to avoid / have a reduced intake of fat / saturated fat / salt / sugar etc. can compare the nutritional value of different products and make choices - can learn that different foods and be used together to compensate for high / low levels of particular nutrients to give an average intake - may be controlling calorie intake - can calculate the total value of food eaten given per 100g - for easy comparison between products - and per product - so that calories consumed can be calculated etc. 14 points 2 points = 1 mark [7]
