Can You Trust Your Food Labels?

Posted by in Untagged 



A few days ago Good Morning America did a segment on whether food nutrition labels are accurate. Guess what! They aren't and the US government only does random checks.

Diane Sawyer and crew sent Ritz crackers, David's sunflower seeds and Wonder bread to an independent food lab for analysis. Wow, were the labels wrong!
  • Ritz crackers - 36% higher in sodium than shown
  • David's sunflower seeds - 23% higher in saturated fat than shown
  • Wonder bread - 70% total fat not the 11% shown
