CALCMENU: Importance of Understanding Food Labels

By
Some consumers often recognize the importance of reading nutritional labels too lightly, as most think that only health professionals and nutrition experts would actually benefit from them. Nutritional information is found on prepackaged foods including nutritional values, allergens, expiration date, and the origins of food items. According to an article by Nancy Clarke (Feb. 12, 2011, LIVINGSTRONG.COM), reading nutrition labels helps manage health conditions, balance nutritional levels, maintain a healthy weight and avoid chronic diseases. These labels help compare the nutritional values of a certain food item to another product as well as to inform the allergic consumers on the nutrient contents which may contain allergens as ingredients or as traces. Labels also provide consumers useful information on food restrictions such as religious, culture, and dietary concerns.

In CALCMENU, not only does it provide reliable and adequate nutrition analysis data for the growing health-conscious population, but it also improves the food quality across different industries, such as the restaurants. As reported by the National Consumers League, “…in response to mandatory postings in New York City and elsewhere, and consumer demand for healthier options, several chains have revamped menu offerings to make them healthier, created new healthy options, and/or highlighted options with a certain number of calories or less.”This quote clearly states that nutrition information and menu labeling can affect the restaurants for better food choices and has great relevance in attracting prospective customers.

With CALCMENU and its notable features: Composition/Declaration, Allergen, and Labels Management, consumers are able to grasp a better understanding of the nutritional content of the food they intake for healthier living.
