How to Decode Food Labels & Ingredients Infographic

Americans are heavy consumers of ultra-processed food, a major driver of chronic disease. Store-bought packaged foods rarely contain fewer than three ingredients with recognizable names. We created this infographic to help people easily understand food labels, unfamiliar ingredients, and unregulated buzzwords. We aim to design something people can actually use when they grab a snack to reward themselves, or a box of cereals for their children—and something they can hang on their kitchen wall as reference when needed. This infographic supports our mission by giving readers more insight and incentive to make better decisions for themselves and their family.
