Description

Food labels are full of numbers, claims, and buzzwords — but how much of it really matters? This episode breaks down the basics: what’s required by law, what’s optional but regulated, and how to interpret those common phrases like “low fat,” “good source of,” or “light.” Learn how to read the ingredients list, understand nutrient claims, and separate useful facts from marketing fluff.
