Have you ever felt confused by the amount of information on a food label? Or wondered what ‘95% fat free’ or ‘packed with goodness’ really means? Did you realise that there is a difference between raspberry flavour and raspberry flavoured yogurt – and, legally, only one has to contain any fruit?

This essential guidebook will help you:

• Read nutrition information labels quickly and easily, so you know what a food is actually giving you
• Understand that words like ‘pure’, ‘fresh’ and ‘organic’ really mean
• Make sense of preservatives – why they are used and which ones may trigger reactions, especially in children
• Recongise the logos and symbols that ensure your are buying a quality product
• Become an informed consumer and gain control over the food you are purchasing and putting into your body
