📋 FDA finally updates "healthy" food label rules after 30 years. Apparently defining "healthy" is harder than quantum physics! New rules set strict limits on sodium, sugar, and fats while requiring actual nutritious ingredients (shocking, I know 😱). Manufacturers have until 2028 to figure out what "healthy" means. #FoodLabels #HealthyFood

Why are foods allowed to market themselves as "Non-dairy" and then contain milk ingredients?
Non-dairy creamer is a prime example. Casein is often the ingredient people are sensitive or allergic to, and that's usually the key ingredient in these "non-dairy" diary products.

Krish Thayaland, from Second Harvest, facilitated a great workshop at the FCJ Refugee Centre about food date labelling.

The central character of this story is made out to be kind of a joke, and his typical dinner of pizza does rather undermine his earnestness in taking food companies to task for misleading claims about the health of their products -- but FFS, somebody's got to.
