How to read a label
A calm label-reading routine for ordinary shoppers who want the useful facts without a lecture.
Main message
Read the claim first, then serving size, then total carbohydrates, then sugar, then ingredients.
Why it matters
- Serving size is the frame for every number on the pack.
- Total carbohydrates usually matter more than the front claim alone.
- Ingredients and sweeteners help explain why a claim may feel clearer than it really is.
Meethakam reminder
Guides can explain claims in public-interest language, but they should not turn into individual medical advice.
