When people usually buy food in the supermarket, they often ignore the food labels on various food packages. Food labels refer to characters, graphics, words and other signs on or attached to food packaging. In fact, food labels can provide us with a lot of information, such as food name, ingredient list, ingredient list, net content and so on. If you learn to choose healthy food wisely, you must learn to read food labels.
Look at the name of food: the size of various fonts on food packaging often affects everyone's judgment on food names. For example, milk drinks and dairy products are often confused. Compared with dairy products, the protein content of milk drinks is very low, and there may be a big one on the food packaging of milk drinks. Milk? Words, but? Milk drink? The small font makes many people mistakenly think that milk drinks are milk.
In addition, we should also pay attention to the production label: the production label provides important information such as the name of the manufacturer, production date, shelf life, production license, etc., which can be used to judge the quality of food and whether it is edible or not. Sort out the food ingredient list: The food ingredient list is generally sorted according to the number of ingredients when processing food, so it is necessary to sort out the main raw materials in food. Understand nutrition labels: information about core nutrients and energy is mandatory on food labels. Understanding nutrition labels can help us better understand the nutritional components of food.
Summary: Food labeling is the most intuitive form of information transmission for consumers, regulators, producers and operators. There are very clear and standardized labeling requirements in laws and regulations. The basic requirement is to convey food information to consumers truly and accurately, and it is not allowed to mislead and deceive consumers.
