Nutrition Labelling


Nutrition labelling became mandatory for all prepackaged foods on December 12, 2007.

The Nutrition Facts table appears on food labels with a consistent look, making it easy to find and easy to read. The labelling regulations, introduced in 2003, also updated the requirements of over 40 nutrient-content claims and allowed five health claims on diet-health relationships to be used on food labels or in advertisements.

Together, the Nutrition Facts table, the nutrition claims and the ingredient list provides people with more information to make informed food choices

the things to look for are the ingredients that they list , you need to be watchful for any that contain HFCS, bad stuff and will put a halt on your fat loss diets,, also look for whole grains, whole wheat, anything that is whole in nature will mean your getting a great source of that in the package, watch out for sugars, enriched flour is not so good either, over processed and has less of the value of the whole ... look at the carb breakdown and see just how many sugars are listed in the carb profile also, that can be misleading, also the fiber amount that is listed can be subtracted from the total carbs listed since fiber has no value as a calorie, reason being is the fiber yeilds little or no value in energy, which means it basically has no calories,,, its good for your intestines to help them function and a few other things,, but though i would make you aware if you counting carbs subtract the fiber and that will give you your total carb per serving on that label..

This is the right move.
Everytime i take some sort of food. I usually checkout for the amount of nutritions in them.
It really helps out to take out good and healthy food.

Yes, before buying anything, check out the nutrition labels. Anythign processed is usually not that good, because on the label it doesn't show what goes throught he processing. They could've added some type of drug and you wouldn't even know. Try to go for the bulk, healthy stuff that really gets the fats out of the system.
