Design Brief -

1. Low GI

   • GI = glycaemic index
   • Low GI doesn't mean healthy
   • Wholegrain foods = Low GI and healthy
   • Sugar and sugary foods = unhealthy and high GI
   • Watermelon = healthy and high GI
   • Chocolate cake = unhealthy and low GI
   • 0 - 55 = low GI, 56 - 69 = medium GI, 70 + = high GI

2. Low GL

   • 0 - 10 = low GL, 11 - 19 = medium GL, 20 + = high GL
   • GL - glycaemic load
   • GL = grams of available carbs x GI / 100
   • Baguette, white, plain = high GL - 48.0
   • Cabbage = low GL - 0.58
   • Corn Tortilla = high GL - 25.0

3. Eatewell Plate

   • Milk and dairy foods
   • Food and drinks high in sugar and/ or fat
   • Fruit and vegetables
   • Carbohydrates; bread, pasta and other foods high in starch
   • Meat, fish, eggs, beans and other non-dairy products

4. Other

   • There is an increase in demand for savoury but healthy lunch products
   • Create a product that fits with the brief - has to be savoury
   • Must fit in with the eatwell plate
   • There should be options before the final product is chosen
   • A supermarket chain wishes to extend its range of products with emphasis on low GI and GL
