Reading Food Labels Without Confusion 📖🤔

Most people underestimate how much they’re eating simply because they don’t realize a package has multiple servings. Knowing serving sizes teaches portion control not restriction, helping you manage energy balance without confusion or guilt.

👉 Start with the Serving Size

👉 Focus on the Big Three: Protein, Carbs, and Fats

Did you know the % of actual food vs filler in packaged goods can huge-ly vary?
One tin of tuna had 35% tuna (cheap flavour-oil brand), while another had 73.5% (premium brand in spring water). Same goes for tomato tins, chicken nuggets, etc.

When you shop:
• look beyond the branding or flavouring
• check the % of main ingredient
• compare unit price and nutrition panels

What matters most to you, taste? nutrition? cost? Pick your priority & read the label.

FDA ruling limits which foods can be labeled ‘healthy’ on packaging https://www.diningandcooking.com/1790120/fda-ruling-limits-which-foods-can-be-labeled-healthy-on-packaging/ ##products #AddedSugar #DariushMozaffarian #fda #FDACommissioner #FoodCompanies #FoodLabels #FruitsAndVegetables #NutrientRichFoods #nutrition #NutritiousFoods #RobertCaliff #SaturatedFat

📋 FDA finally updates "healthy" food label rules after 30 years. Apparently defining "healthy" is harder than quantum physics! New rules set strict limits on sodium, sugar, and fats while requiring actual nutritious ingredients (shocking, I know 😱). Manufacturers have until 2028 to figure out what "healthy" means. #FoodLabels #HealthyFood

Why are foods allowed to market themselves as "Non-dairy" and then contain milk ingredients?

Non-dairy creamer is a prime example. Casein is often the ingredient people are sensitive or allergic to, and that's usually the key ingredient in these "non-dairy" diary products.

🎤 New episode in our Borderless Voices podcast!

Krish Thayaland, from Second Harvest, facilitated a great workshop at the FCJ Refugee Centre about food date labelling. He talked about the difference between "best before" and expiration dates, gave us a lot of useful information, and explained that "best before" doesn’t mean "bad after", and how understanding that can really help to combat food waste.

The central character of this story is made out to be kind of a joke, and his typical dinner of pizza does rather undermine his earnestness in taking food companies to task for misleading claims about the health of their products -- but FFS, somebody's got to. The real joke is what these companies get away with in a country with an obesity epidemic and widespread heart disease. #foodlabels
