Grocery Store Field Trip: How to Read Food Labels

On Saturday April 15th at 9am the Multicultural Health Foundation invites you to participate in a grocery store field trip with registered dietitian, Dr. Samira Jones. Participants will determine how to select the best food options by learning how to read food labels.

Food labels provide detailed information on the nutritional content of a food product, including its calorie count, macronutrient composition (e.g., carbohydrates, protein, and fat), and micronutrient content (e.g., vitamins and minerals). This information can help people make informed decisions about what they eat, especially if they have specific dietary needs or health concerns. Food labels also provide information about serving sizes and the number of servings in a container. This can help people monitor their calorie intake and avoid overeating.

Dr. Jones is a public health nutritionist and the owner of Sunshine Nutrition 4 Health. She has a PhD in Nutritional Biology from University of California Davis and brings over 20 years of research & professional experience in dietary health and nutrition.
