Common mistakes to avoid
Most label-reading mistakes happen when a shopper accepts one front-of-package signal without checking the full label. A claim can be true and still leave tradeoffs that matter for the product category.
- Do not treat Nutri-Score as a complete food safety or ingredient score.
- Do not compare unrelated foods only by the front label.
- Do not ignore allergens, additives, or ingredient-list details.
- Do not rely on SafeChoice for medical, allergy, pregnancy, or legal advice.
Source-backed context
