How to choose healthy product while grocery shopping? Do you need help to read the nutrition facts label on the products you want to buy at the supermarket? Be a food detective. Check the labels and avoid ingredients with high level of sugar, trans fats or long “chemical names” that are hard to pronounce.
The healthiest food are those found just as nature intended – whole and unprocessed.
A good first tip when looking at food labels is not to choose a product that contains more than 5 ingredients. When was the last time you saw an ingredient list on a stalk of broccoli or a fresh filet of fish?
Another tool to help you is to download this free App on your smartphone:
Open Food Facts gathers information and data on food products from around the world and gives you a nutri-score, that helps you to make healthier food choices. Available in French and English.
