28/6/2013

0 Comments

 
Food labels can help us choose a healthier diet and make sure our  foods are safe to eat. Here is a guide to some of the most common food  labelling  terms. 

Use by and best before

 Display unit and sell by

 Health claims

 Light or lite

 Low fat

 No added sugar or unsweetened

 Ingredients

 Nutrition information

 For example, if a food product is labelled "light" or "lite" or has "no added  sugar" what does this mean? 

There are rules that food manufacturers must follow to prevent false claims   or misleading descriptions, and there are clear guidelines on what labels on  packets can and can't show.
