Reading Food Labels

📖 🍒 READING FOOD LABELS 🥧 🏷️

Be mindful of food labels. The purpose is to get you to buy the product as quickly as possible. Know that the companies will put as many positive aspects of the product as possible on the front label.

There are so many buzzwords out there that attract people.
“Gluten-free”
“Zero calories”
“Low fat”

Ask yourself this question, “What are they not telling me?”

The back of the label tells you all the ingredients. However, because so much information is needed to state all the ingredients and warnings, the text is often tiny.

Consumers should know everything that they put in their bodies. Yet, we often succumb to quick advertising and frequently miss the red flags. 🚩

Stay tuned as I guide you through how to make some sense of these labels so you can make better choices.
