Reading labels on processed foods is even more important than for fresh foods for a few reasons: 🍬Processed foods often contain a surprising amount of added sugar, sodium, and unhealthy fats. These may not be readily apparent from the taste or even the front of the packaging. Labels help you identify these and make informed choices. 🍭Processed foods often contain preservatives, artificial colors, flavors, and other additives to extend shelf life or enhance taste. While generally safe, some people may prefer to avoid them for health reasons or simply because they want to know exactly what they're consuming. Labels provide this transparency. 🚫Packaging can be misleading, with claims like "healthy" or "all-natural" that don't always reflect reality. Labels provide a more objective picture of the ingredients and nutrients. 🧂Sugar can come in many forms, and manufacturers may use sneaky wording to mask high sugar content. Labels reveal the amount of sugar (including added sugars) per serving. #TheMintEnfold #CulinaryNutritionist #ConsciousEating #WholesomeFoodChoices #MindfulEating #SustainableSnacking #NutritionJourney #RitikaAgarwal
