At best, nutrition labels are moderately informative, but they can
also be hopelessly confusing, or, at the worst, misleading. How
high is “high”? Did you know that there are no official guidelines
for labeling something as “Low-Carb?”
Here’s a short collection from Huff Post Food of the seven most common nutritional terms that are used – high, low-carb, low-sodium, BPA-free, non-GMO, enriched, and fortified – with a short description of what they mean, and whether they’re important to pay attention to. As additional items arrive on grocery store shelves with the latest popular label, the more clarity the better.
