Buyer Beware: Food Labels Do Not Mean a Food Is Healthy!
A new study found relying on the front of pack (FOP) claims to determine the nutrition quality of the food may not be your best option.

They found no type or number of front of pack claims could distinguish “healthy” foods from “unhealthy” ones.
