Learn how to read food labels with our short Label Literacy course
We know it’s getting more complicated to make choices when you shop. With food prices continuing to soar, each grocery purchase matters more than ever. As you try to shop your values — which might include concerns about the environment, animal suffering or family health — getting good monetary value is also essential. Is it worth paying more for food that is organic? Should you shell out extra for products marked as fair trade? This is when understanding labels and claims becomes extremely important. FoodPrint is here to help.
Sign up for our weeklong Label Literacy course — one email a day for five days — and learn how to decode what you see on the front of a package and get the most value out of every purchase you make, based on what’s most important to you.
We’ll teach you what the organic label guarantees, and how to choose the right eggs for you when the cartons display so many labels and claims. We want to help you understand the difference between third-party certified labels and baseless claims. We will give you easy tools to help you focus on the specific products or issues that matter to you most. Is the environment your top priority? Animal welfare? What about fair compensation for farmers? We’ve got you covered.
Simply sign up below and we will send you five emails chock-full of information. By the end of the series, you’ll be Label Literate!
Sign up for our Label Literacy series and start making sense of food labels.
