Answer to Question 1

C
A sodium intake of 2100 mg daily is below the maximum level recommended by the National Research Council (2400 mg/day) and the American Heart Association (2300 mg/day). The AI is 1500 mg. There is no recommended range for sodium intake, just the AI and upper limits.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Functional food is a marketing term, not legal term. It implies the foods or food components that provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition.
