What’s next?

This week we’ve looked at the wide variety of categories of information food labels contain and what they tell you. We’ve also discovered what they don’t say and what that might mean for your health. And we’ve considered how food labels can help build trust in the food system by ensuring you know what’s in your food and where it came from.

You’ve found out how to navigate a label and dig down to the information you need to help you choose what to buy.

We hope you’ll put the first 3 steps of your action plan into practice and let us know how it goes.

Next Week will deal with what is probably the main reason that people take this course – knowing what your food contains and whether it’s good for you. We’ll start with understanding the nutritional information and decoding the nutrition declaration.
