DON'T SKIP THE STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Food labels typically provide important storage guidance, such as “keep refrigerated,” “consume within 3 days,” or “store in a cool, dry place.” Adhering to these recommendations is essential for maintaining food quality and safety. It's important to take a moment to read and follow these instructions to ensure your meals remain both safe and enjoyable.

Food label literacy, day 26

🟢 Day 26 - Nutrition Tip

“Don't just shop, compare ”

When selecting between similar products, it’s beneficial to carefully review the labels. For instance, you might find one option containing 12g of sugar per serving, while another offers just 4g. This insight can guide you toward making healthier choices.

Tip: Take the time to compare and select the option that aligns better with your health goals.
