With or without Ticks or Stars!
Friday, September 22, 2017, 10.00am–11.00am AEDT
About the presentation
With more people buying processed foods, it’s critical to give clients quick, easy tips to discern if a food is healthy or not (with or without Ticks or Stars!) Accredited Practising Dietitian, Catherine Saxelby, will show you how she teaches a client to read a food label using a combination of the Ingredient List and the Nutrition Information Panel. You’ll learn quick and easy short-cuts to show your clients:
How an Ingredient List is arranged
Which additives to avoid (and which are not a true problem)
Health claims to ignore such as organic, real, light, no artificial colours or preservatives, etc
How to interpret a Nutrition Panel from canned corn to wholemeal bread
What are cut-offs for the NIP for sugars, sodium and protein
Watching this presentation and completing the assessment can contribute towards assessable Continuing Professional Development hours.
