The food labels seen on the shelves of your local grocery store are regulated by the Canadian government in an effort to protect you - though from a consumers perspective such labels are often seen as confusing and convoluted.
It is not uncommon to see trusted food labels with claims and statements that can make even the unhealthiest foods seem appealing.
Experts may tell you how to read an ingredient list and what the numbers on nutrition facts tables mean, but have you ever wondered if there are ingredients that aren't displayed on labels? How companies come up with the numbers on the nutrition facts tables? And, how companies potentially mislead consumers with various health claims and statements?
"Read it With a Grain of Salt", is a website and soon-to-be released book that will empower you with the knowledge you need to finally understand Canadian food labels.
