Confused about food labels? You're not alone.
It’s 6pm. Your workday was exhausting. Traffic was horrible.
And now you’re squeezing between other customers in the supermarket aisle, while you try to decipher exactly what’s in the food you’re about to buy. Unless you're a marketing and nutrition expert, you might have a tough time.
