Carefully reading the labels on food packets can help you pick the healthier option between similar products. They can also help you to think about the ingredients in different foods. But sometimes things are not quite as they seem.
Most food packaging tells you how much energy (calories) a food gives per portion or for 100g. It also tells you how much of the different nutrients the food contains. It will also list the ingredients in the food, whether it contains things that could set off allergic reactions and the date by which you should eat it.
