[Food labels]
Food labels can be very confusing with all their different terms and symbols, so we have developed an interactive label to help you work your way round them.
Just click below to launch it. Then guide your cursor over any term or symbol you want to find out about, and an explanation will pop up on your screen.

The definitions provided are for guidance only.
The label uses Adobe Flash player, which is available as a free download from Adobe. Please click on the icon below if you require it.
