Fascinating Fact:

Food from plants and animals (like fruit, milk, eggs) is natural, while crisps, sweets, and fizzy drinks are manmade foods.

  • Manmade product: Something people make or change, often in factories, such as plastic toys, crisps, or fizzy drinks.
  • Ingredient: A food or material that is mixed with others to make a new product, like sugar and flour in biscuits.
