Tip #3
Beware of the unassuming percent daily value for sodium. Shockingly this percent daily value is based on a number that is above the maximum amount of sodium that Health Canada recommends we consume each day; an amount that is likely to pose a risk to our health. Consider these three easy steps for reading sodium information on food labels
Allison Jorgens is a Professional Home
Economist holding a degree in nutritional sciences. She has been working
as a food label specialist for grocers and food manufactures in Canada
for nearly a decade. Over the past ten years, Allison has reviewed
thousands of food labels for many of Canada’s leading private-label
grocery brands, large and small manufacturers, distributors, and a
variety of importers. It is this wide-ranging experience in
regulatory-compliance label reviews that makes her knowledge unique—and
her perspective all the more shocking. As a concerned parent and
advocate of leading a healthful lifestyle, Allison recommends that all
consumers empower themselves with the knowledge needed to make more
healthful and informed choices.
