Nutrition label or a food label is one of the most neglected description on a food packet. Nutrition labels describe the nutrient content of a food and are intended to guide the consumer in food selection. The nutrition information provided must be selected on the basis of consistency with dietary recommendations, it is also a legal requirement for many reasons which helps consumers to make informed choices about the food they buy.
But for a layman when it comes to reading a food label or a nutrition label the knowledge is limited only to seeing expiry dates, and all the other information written are usually ignored. Hence this September issue talks about all the basic information required for reading a food/ nutrition label, in order to make an informed choices for the customer while buying a food product, which helps themselves to be emotionally and physically healthy.
During these times where multiple information is freely available it is very important for one to make a right choice for a healthy living! Hope this small initiative by our team will help consumers make right choices!
