Think phosphate is just in dairy? 🤔

Many processed foods hide phosphate additives (look for “phos-” on the label) - in processed meats and cheese, cola drinks and baking mixes. 🙁

These additives are absorbed more easily than natural phosphorus in foods such as dairy.

Be aware of your phosphate levels and keep them in range to prevent symptoms such as itching, bone weakness and brittle nails. Your healthcare team will advise you if you need to follow a low-phosphate diet. 💪

Follow for simple food label-reading tips and CKD-smart swaps you can use on your next shop. 💜
