The Food Label Decoder (Paperback)

Paperback. Food packaging is designed to be noticed quickly, but the most useful information is often printed in smaller type. The Food Label Decoder is a clear, fact-based guide to understanding what modern food labels really say, from sugar, salt, fat, protein, fibre, and serving sizes to ingredients lists, additives, allergens, date marks, front-of-pack claims, organic labels, vegan labels, plant-based foods, children's products, drinks, snacks, ready meals, and supermarket value. Written in a calm, practical, easy-to-read style, this book is not a diet plan and does not tell readers what they must buy. Instead, it explains how food labels work so shoppers can make more informed choices without panic, guilt, or confusion. It shows how claims such as "no added sugar," "high protein," "natural," "light," "gluten free," "plant-based," and "made with real fruit" should be read alongside the nutrition panel, ingredients list, serving size, allergens, storage instructions, and price. Designed for everyday supermarket decisions, The Food Label Decoder helps readers understand the whole package, not just the largest words on the front. This item is printed on demand.
