Source document note: The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:

content standard text - p.63: the document prints this content-standard code as "2.X1.1.CS1" - a stray X after the year segment and no separator before the final digit. Filed as 2.1.2.CS.1 because the section wins (guide item 1c): printed p.61 heads this sub-strand "Strand 1. Health Education / Sub-Strand 2. Nutrition and Diet in Health" and prints 2.1.2.LO.1, and this page's content is food safety, processed foods and food choices. Reading the code through as 2.1.1.CS.1 would collide with printed p.60, which uses that standard in full for sexual and reproductive health
indicator text - p.63: the document prints this learning-indicator code as "2.1.1.LI.1", which is a preceding sub-strand's number; filed under 2.1.2 because the section wins (guide item 1c) and because 2.1.1.LI.1 is already used in full on printed p.60
exemplars - p.63: the document prints this assessment code as "2.1.1.AS.1", which is a preceding sub-strand's number; filed under 2.1.2 with its indicator, because the section wins (guide item 1c). The assessment cell itself is transcribed exactly as printed
