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 pure caffeine powder like an ordinary coffee or soft drink label.
- Do not rely on a scanner when the serving direction is unclear or the product is highly concentrated.
- Do not ignore country-specific warning or ban context.
- Do not use SafeChoice as emergency, medical, pregnancy, or supplement advice.
