If a person reads only the front claim on packaged food, what is the risk?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Actual nutrition information may be missed
A front-of-pack statement such as “natural,” “light,” or “low fat” highlights only one selected feature and does not describe the whole product. The consumer may miss serving size, total energy, added sugar, sodium, saturated fat, allergens, and the ingredient list. Thus the nutrition panel and ingredients must be checked as well.
