Like any tool nutrition labelling is not much use unless you use it. Nutrition labelling is a voluntary program that allows food manufacturers to put information about calories, protein, fat, carbohydrates, fibre and some nineteen other vitamins and "minerals on a food label if they wish to do so. Good labels will give you a full nutritional profile of the food, not just the values for a few nutrients. Many of the ready-to-eat breakfast cereals and some-whole grain bread with hard facts about the amount of the nutrient in a serving of the food. ' A few nutrients like sodium and potassium must always be reported together on the label. Others though, can be listed alone. Watch out for this because it allows the manufacturer to report only the good features of a product leaving off information which may be more important from: a health point of view. Nutrition information based on the food "as sold". Beware 'of items like cake mixes that may well be "cholesterol free" as a mix but when made up with 1/3 cup oil, 3 eggs and iced, are neither cholesterol- free or low in fat!
