Nutritional Labeling is not Enough

The Nutrition Facts Index and the ingredient list on the side or back of packaged foods go hand in hand to provide consumers with information to make smart, healthy decisions.

Checking Nutrition Facts Index on packaged foods is an important way to keep tabs on what you're about to eat or to make an informed decision not to eat it.  The Index gives us the quantity of important nutritional ingredients. The ingredient list qualifies everything else that we're putting into our body. Using one without the other makes it difficult to make informed decisions.

The Nutrition Facts Index doesn't tell the whole story. By looking only at the NFI, the consumer is provided with data such as calories, fat, vitamin A and iron.

But nutrition is much more complex. A carrot, for example, contains hundreds of nutrients. The Nutrition Facts panel is only a small peephole to a much larger portrait of biological and chemical interactions that take place when food enters our body. Since most shoppers are not scientists, a much longer list of nutrient values wouldn't help us either. Nor is there room on product packages to list hundreds of micronutrients.

The ingredient list, though, can provide explicit and implicit assurances as to the product I’m about to place in my shopping cart. Here's what I look for when I study the label. If it is a short and easily understandable list of ingredients, chances are the product is healthier. If there are no controversial food colorings, sweeteners, or preservatives, chances are the product is healthier.
