How to Choose Everyday Snacks by Ingredients, Serving Size and Allergens
Choosing a packaged snack comes down to four parts of the label.
-
Ingredients. A short list is easier to understand. Habbitree’s Whole Almonds list one ingredient: 100% whole almonds.
-
Serving size. Habbitree’s labels use 30 g, and a 250 g pack has about 8 servings. Check how much you actually eat.
-
Sugars. Compare added sugars, not only total sugars.
-
Allergens. Read the “contains”, “may contain” and facility lines.
Examples to try on your own pack: reading a nutrition table and reading allergen advisories. Browse Smart Snack Mixes.
