Stop reading food labels!
Ok… now that we’ve got your attention, let us clarify. We do
NOT encourage you to stop reading food labels. However, what if there were an
app that could help you save time in the grocery aisles.
Everyone knows that nutrition labels and ingredients lists can
sometimes be confusing or misleading. Even the most informed health enthusiast
can have difficulty deciphering the code.
So we would like to suggest a great tool to help our readers
be more confident that they are making the best choices possible in the
supermarket.
According to Fooducate’s website, their app, “…automatically
grades foods and beverage on a scale from A to D… Fooducate’s algorithm is based on information that is
publicly on a product’s package: the nutrition facts panel and the ingredient
list.”
In addition to rating your food item, the app ALSO
provides healthier alternatives when your selected item scores low. What more
could you ask for?
