To be sure that safety regulations are being followed, look for the
FSSAI logo and the license number.
Examine the ingredients listed in descending order by weight,
prioritizing whole, recognizable foods. Avoid products with long lists of artificial additives,
preservatives, and chemicals.
Check the serving size and quantity of servings per container to compare
similar portions. Pay attention to calories, trans fats, added sugars, fiber, sodium, and vital
nutrients.
Monitor calorie content per serving to ensure it fits your dietary
goals. Balance calorie consumption with expenditure for overall health and weight
management.
If you have a food allergy or sensitivity, it's important to review
allergen information and stay away from common allergens like nuts, dairy, eggs, soy, wheat, or
shellfish.
Identify added sugars in the ingredients and nutrition facts. Limit
intake to avoid empty calories and health risks like obesity and diabetes, opting for natural
sweetness instead.
Check sodium per serving to manage intake, as high consumption is linked
to hypertension. Select lower sodium options or products labeled "low sodium" or "no added
salt."
