One of the most important (and often the most challenging) aspects of food allergy management is learning how to read a label for allergens. In my role as a consultant, I’m often asked, “How do you read a label?” I’m excited to finally be able to share with a resource that I hope will help people with this task. It is my “Label Reading 1-2-3” poster.
I created a poster that shows you how to read a label the way I personally read a label. I try to quickly eliminate unsafe foods (Steps 1 & 2), but also take the time to read every ingredient of those foods that might be safe (Step 3).
