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 assume washing removes all raw sprout risk.
- Do not miss sprouts hidden in a longer salad or sandwich ingredient list.
- Do not treat a nutrition score as a pregnancy food-safety clearance.
- Do not rely on SafeChoice instead of official pregnancy guidance.
