Food Label Detectives! 🕵️‍♀️🍎

Let's become food label detectives and uncover the secrets hidden in our food!

Your Mission:

  1. Gather a variety of food packages: Choose items from your kitchen cupboards or fridge.

  2. Examine the food labels: Look for the following information:

    • Ingredients list: What is the food made of?

    • Nutrition information: How many calories, fat, sugar, protein, and fibre does it contain?

    • Serving size: How much of the food is considered one serving?

    • Allergy information: Does the food contain any common allergens?

    • Country of origin: Where was the food produced?

  3. Compare and contrast: Look at the labels of similar products (e.g., different types of cereal or yoghurt) and compare their nutritional values.

  4. Make informed choices: Discuss with your family how to use food labels to make healthier food choices.

Bonus Challenges:

  • Research different food additives and their potential effects on health.

  • Learn about food labelling regulations and how to interpret food labels accurately.

  • Create a healthy shopping list based on your food label detective work.
