Low fat product one of the best selected for ladies for their content. I'm sure any girls would go for low fat product if they are highly concern about their weight. Even though most of them are underweight when it comes to BMI calculation and yet they are still screaming about their weight. =.=

Anyway, for this semester we come across a subject called Food Analysis and interestingly it taught us about nutrition Labeling and Claims that are permitted on product.
I have been always wondering whether most of the food around us are low fat or it is just a gimmick? How can we learn to recognized real low fat product? I always wanted to make my way to the supermarket and check it out but i got the freebies from Nescafe last week so i decided to have a check whether if they are telling the true or not. The answer it simple.
Just check the food product nutrition labeling.
Low Fat claim can only be make at 3g per 100gram (solid)
or 1.5 per 100ml (liquids)
Free fat is at 0.15g per 100g (or 100ml)
 |
| Fat 0.6 / 100ml |
Nescafe Coffee fat content is at 0.6 per 100ml which is lower than 1.5 per 100ml free fat claims.
This is how you check if the product is Low Fat or Free fat.
Lower than 3g per 100gram (solid) or 1.5 per 100ml (liquids) Low Fat
Lower than 0.15g per 100g (or 100ml) Free fat
So each time when you see the label " Low fat or Free fat" just check the nutrition label and you will know you are having the right product.
This is just a sample of nutrition education for everyone. NOT promoting any products :)
Stay healthy!
