New Research: Labels could do more to reveal nutritious foods

A new Health Canada survey found that consumers are confused by the nutrition facts table on the back of prepackaged foods. The research was conducted for Health Canada through a series of 8 focus groups to determine whether various elements of a future educational campaign were clear and appropriate. Serving sizes and the % DV were particularly challenging for consumers. We believe that nutrition professionals and food manufacturers have a great opportunity to help shoppers make healthy food choices and make labels easier to understand.
