FOOD LABELS
What is a food label?
A food label contains nutritional information for people to decide whether or not a food is healthy. This information is very important to keeping a healthy diet.
PRESS PLAY on the video to learn more about food labels and the nutrition facts they provide!
What does it mean?
The food label contains lots of information about how much salt, sugar, fat, vitamins and minerals are in a food. It also tells you how much of it you should eat - serving size.
When reading a food label you need to be a detective. Just because the food label and nutritional information says the food has lots of vitamins and minerals, does not mean it is healthy. It may be very high in sugar or salt.
