Low-fact labels: Our tests expose biscuits with three times more saturated fat and pizza with 80 per cent extra fat than the labels claim

Article Abstract:

Nutrition labels on food are important but the results of tests conducted on 70 foods showed that they can be very inaccurate with just seven percent of the 570 nutrients matching up exactly with what the label indicated. Companies blamed variations in ingredients or recipes for such misleading nutrient labels and hence it is suggested that manufacturers should strive to make the information as accurate as possible to avoid making false claims.
