It can help us food labels to choose more healthy diet and to make sure that our food is properly handled. Here is a guide to some of the most prevalent food posters terms.
Posters provide food, a wide range of information about food. But to understand all of this information is important if we are to benefit from them.
For example, what does it mean if a food product has been classified as "light" or "diluted" or "without added sugar"?
These are rules that must be followed by food manufacturers to prevent false claims or misleading descriptions, and there is clear guidance of what should be shown on posters or cans not shown.
Explain below some of the most common labeling terms.
Sold in preferred and used before
Consumed during
You will notice dates "is consumed during" on foods that spoil quickly, such as smoked fish, meat products and ready-made authorities.
Do not use any food or drink after the end of history "is consumed through" on the label, even if he looked good and smelled. This is because using it after this date will display your life at risk.
Date to be "consumed by" right evidence, you have to follow the storage instructions such as "keep it in the refrigerator." If these instructions are not followed, the food will spoil more quickly, and will be at risk of food poisoning.
Once the date open food "consumed by", you have to follow any instructions such as "It's all within three days of conquest"
But remember, if the "consumed by" Tomorrow, you must use the food by the end of tomorrow, even if "the whole within a week of opening," said the poster and you open the food today.
If possible, freeze food, the validity can be extended beyond the date "it consumes through." But make sure to follow the instructions on the box, such as "frozen Atabkhha" or "Zoppea well before use and used within 24 hours."
Preferably used before
History shows "Preferably used before" on a wide range of frozen food, dried and other canned.
Date means "preferably used by the" quality, not safety. When going through history, this does not mean that the food will be harmful, but it may begin to lose its flavor and texture.
Eggs can be eaten after the date of "Preferably used before" as long as it is cooked thoroughly until all of the yolk hardens and white, or if it is used in dishes where it is cooked just like cake.
Cooking will kill the eggs until the yolk and white hardens any bacteria, such as salmonella. We should address the people who are in the category of "at-risk" eggs or foods that contain eggs, which have been well cooked. These groups include:
• infants and children in the first Mhihm
• elderly
• Pregnant
• healthy people Almtoekan
Throw away each year several tons of food and drink, and most of them could have been eaten. So think before throwing food later date "preferably used before."
Remember, the date would be "preferably used by" accurate only if the food store and according to the instructions on the label, such as "store it in a cool, dry place" or "keep it in the refrigerator at the open."
Displays and even sold in
Often show signs of history, such as "display until" or "Bba in the" near or next to the date, "prefers to use before" or "used". These instructions are intended for the shopkeepers, not customers.
Dates "is used in" and "prefer to use before" dates is important that you search for.
Health claims
It gives food packaging health claims for food, such as, "help maintain a healthy heart," or "help in digestion."
It must be based on any claims about the nutritional and health benefits of food science.
Be allowed public claims about the benefits of public health, such as "healthy" or "good for you", if paired allegations OK Alleha.mma means that these allegations must be supported by an explanation for why the food is "healthy".
Do not allow food labels to claim that what food treats, prevents or cures any disease or medical problem. This kind of allegations only licensed drugs can not be given.
Mild or diluted
To say that the food "light" or "diluted", must be at least 30% less in the fundamental value of at least one, such as calories and fat than the standard product.
You must explain the label of a food item may be reduced, exactly what and how much, for example "light: 30% less fat."
To get the full picture about a product and compare it correctly with similar foods, you'll need to take a closer look at the validity Algmaiah.oshl poster way to compare products is to look at the information for each 100 g.
You may be surprised by the small difference between foods that carry claims and those that do not contain the type of Thml.imkn "light" or "dilute" of a certain brand of potato chips the same amount of fat and calories it contains standard type of another brand.
It can contain this tempting biscuit, which claims to be a little more fat than you think Harirat, so I checked the validity label well.
low fat
It can be given claim that the food is low in fat only while more than 3 grams of fat per 100 g for solids or 1.0 g of fat product per 100 ml of fluid does not contain (1.8 g fat per 100 Mlatr milk average fat).
Without added sugar or unsweetened
Indicate "without added sugar" or "unsweetened" to sugar or sweeteners that are added as ingredients. It does not mean that the food does not contain sugar.
Stkhbarakm lists of ingredients on the labels of food products with "sugar-free" and "unsweetened" What are the ingredients used, including what types of local and sugar. Often you can find information about the amount of sugar found in food in the food shelf life poster.
No added sugar
Usually it means that the food item has not added to sugar as an ingredient.
Still food that "does not contain added sugar can" be sweet, and still it could contain sugar.
Sugars occur naturally in food such as fruit and milk. But we do not need to reduce these types of sugar: even foods that contain added sugar, which we lower it is.
