bles, watch out for “freezer bum,” the formation of ice crystals directly on food. While freezer bum won’t hurt you, it affects both the taste and nutritional value of food.
Read labels to know what you’re buying. Be aware, however, that labels don’t tell you everything. For example, the word “diet” or “dietetic” on a label doesn’t necessarily mean that a product is lower in calories than “normal” food.
When you see “sugar-free” or “sugarless” on a label it means that the product doesn’t contain sucrose (table sugar) but it may include other sweeteners such as honey, com suFup, fructose, sorbitol or mannitol.
“Low sodium” on a label does not mean the same thing as low salt. Salt isn’t the only ingredient that contains sodium.
People on a low-sodium diet also must check labels for monosodium glutamate (MSG), sodium bicarbonate, sodium saccharin and total sodium content per serving.
“Sodium-free” foods have less than 5 milligrams of sodium per serving. Very low sodium means no more than 35 milligrams per serving. Very low sodium means no more than 35 milligrams per serving. Low sodium means no more than 140 milligrams per serving, and reduced sodium indicates that the sodium has been reduced by 75 percent.
Salt-free, unsalted, no-salt, no salt added, without added salt, all mean that no salt was added during the processing of the product.
But it still could have significant sodium content, either naturally, (such as the addition of cheeses) or from substances added for preserving, leavening or coloring.
The word “light” on a label may not always mean low calorie. Light also can indicate less fat, less salt or less breading on frozen meats.
When light is used on labels"for plain meats and poultry, the product must contain 25 percent less of a component than the majority of such products on the market.
The phrase “pure vegetable oil” is no inducator that a food is lower in saturated fats than a product prepared with animal fats.
Both palm kernel and coconut oil — two vegetable oils widely used in making every variety of snack food — are more highly saturated than beef tallow.
