Only The Back Label Counts
When it comes to choosing healthier options at the grocery store, don't be swayed by flashy front label claims. Terms like "heart-healthy," "whole grains," or "fiber-filled" that can often be misleading. The real story lies in the ingredient list on the back label.

Choose wisely by reading the back label first.
