E-mail Print PDF

In this modern age, with the countless amount of food processing, we are rushed into having certain thoughts about labels on food.  "Made With Whole Grains", "0g Trans Fat" and other labels are placed to mislead consumers into having a more healthy perception of the food while in reality it may or may not be healthy at all.

 

From the article:

"Consumers need honest labeling so they can spend their food dollars 
wisely and avoid diet-related disease," said CSPI senior staff attorney
Ilene Ringel Heller, co-author of the report. "Companies should market

common today. And, if they don't, the FDA should make them."

 

Read on to discover exactly what these labels could mean for your food and what you can do to change your perceptions of these labelings.
