Labelling

I cannot stress how important it is to check the labels - thoroughly! I was at the supermarket today and I am shocked at the deceit on some packets. I took photos to point this out.

Claims on the packet - The Natural Chip Company Sea Salt & Vinegar Chips
As you can see, they are making categorical statements on the packet. The important one is "No added MSG". You see, the crucial word here is "added". what they actually mean is that THEY didn't add any MSG - this doesn't mean there ISN'T any MSG. In fact on checking the ingredients there were 3 different ingredients that contain processed free glutamic acid (MSG) in the packet.


Naural flavour, Maltodextrin, Corn Starch
With every packet, always check the ingredients with Truth in Labelling to make sure. MSG will stay in your system for 7 days and build up in your system. Even having small amounts every day builds up to a much larger problem.

To follow my eating plan, print the list from Truth in Labelling and avoid EVERY INGREDIENT on that list. No exceptions.
