In this episode, we will explore the food label and learn how to interpret the information found on both the front and back of food packages. We will also define common nutrition claims such as "fat-free," "low sugar," and other labeling terms to help you better understand what they mean. Join us as we break down the food label and discover how understanding nutrition information can help you make healthier, more informed food choices.
