You know that saying, don’t judge a person, a thing, at face value? The same can be applied when it comes to reading and understanding front of package food labels, when trying to make informed choices about the foods and beverages we purchase and eat. Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting Abby Fridmann and Dan Schrack, of Fox Rochester WUHF, where we talked about How to be a Smart Consumer when it Comes to Packaged Foods. Overall tips that were shared on the air: 🛒Don’t judge a product at face value. 🛒Be sure to look at the whole package: front, sides and back of the label, so that you can make an informed decision, based on factors that are important to you. 🛒Make the best choice for you, based on things that are important to you. Five things I look for when investigating a packaged food: 🛒1) Taste, quality, and appeal 🛒2) Nutrition and ingredients 🛒3) How this product aligns with my ethics/values, i.e how it was produced, raised, etc. 🛒4) Cost 🛒5) How does this fit into my overall lifestyle?
