Use our food label checker to see how healthy your diet is!
Most people eat too much calories, fat, sugar and salt
Many packaged foods have a label at the front that tells you how much energy, fat, sugar and salt is in it (as pictured). Limit eating foods with any red on the label as the value is high.
If there is no label at the front, take a look at the nutrition label at the back and use our food label checker below!
Note: This food label checker uses reference intakes for the average person who is moderately active and of a healthy weight and does not account for scenarios such as pregnancy and breastfeeding. This tool is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
