The Number Five Rule
When you want to quickly know whether a food product is healthy or not, it is important to read food labels efficiently.
Firstly, look at the Ingredients list. Check that the food product has less than 5 ingredients that are made from real foods (not food chemicals or E numbers).
Secondly, look at the Nutritional Information table which is usually found at the back of a food package. Look at the 100g column to get the percentage of nutrients (protein, sugar, fibre, etc).
