Reading & Understanding Food Labels: How to Make Healthy Food Choices and Take the Stress out of Grocery Shopping
Date: October 20, 2021
Time: 7:00 pm PST
A typical food label is jam packed with information. While most of it is there to help us make informed decisions, some of it can be misleading, and labels can be confusing and stressful if you don’t have a basic understanding of nutrition or are not sure what to look for. For many, this results in them skipping the label all together, or, simply relying on the sneaky marketing messages plastered across the front of the package.
At first glance of a food package you are bombarded by claims of “high protein”, “low fat”, “heart healthy” and “whole grain,” despite what you might see on the box. Flip the package over and the nutrition facts table is a jumble of numbers and terms that most of the population does not fully understand…and rightly so! One day we are told that fat is bad and the next day we are adding butter to our coffee. Then there is the ingredient list, which provides the best insight into what a particular food item is composed of, but can also be deceiving and leave us with more questions than answers.
Take the stress out of grocery shopping by learning the basics of reading and understanding food labels, including health claims, nutrient content claims, the nutrition facts table, organic and non-GMO labeling, and the ingredient list. Participate in this free webinar to gain a basic understanding of food labels and the expertise needed to confidently navigate the grocery store and make healthy food choices for yourself and your family!
