Vague labelling makes life difficult

Just read this article on labelling – Vague labels harm food sufferers and think it’s so true.

I think I’ve got quite a good understanding of labels – for example I can spot sugar under all its guises (sucrose, fructose, corn syrup etc….) but sometimes labels do just seem very vague.

And my pet hate is with food nasties like additives & flavourings. Often foods will have it written on the front of the packet “no added artificial flavourings or colourings” and when you read the labels there’s a lot of vague stuff which sounds like it could be exactly that!!

And I imagine for people intolerant or allergic to things that don’t legally need to be mentioned then it makes life very difficult.

What do you think?
