Understanding Food Labels

Understanding food labels is an important part of making informed nutritional choices and developing a better understanding of the foods we eat.

 

Food packaging provides valuable information about ingredients, nutritional composition, portion sizes, allergens and recommended storage, helping consumers compare products and understand what they are buying. Learning how to interpret nutrition information, including energy, fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, sugars, protein, fibre and salt, can help put individual foods into the context of an overall balanced diet.
