What the content includes

In this webinar we will look at how to interpret food labels and use the information to make better everyday food choices. This webinar includes:

• How to read ingredients tables to support various health conditions and optimise health
• Discuss the Reference Intakes (suggested daily amounts of macronutrients and how useful they are)
• Per 100g versus per portion (and why serving size matters)
• Should we be calorie counting
• Comparing similar products and making a more informed choice

What attendees will gain

• Greater confidence interpreting food labels and ingredient lists.
• A better understanding of recommended daily amounts of carbohydrates, protein and fats.
• Practical guidance on portion sizes and how much may be too much.
• A clearer understanding of calories and whether calorie counting is useful.
• Practical knowledge they can apply immediately when shopping, preparing meals or choosing food at work.

Ideal for

• All employees: providing practical nutrition knowledge relevant to everyday food choices.
• Workplace wellbeing programmes: an accessible session that helps build health and nutrition awareness.
• Healthy eating campaigns: particularly useful alongside nutrition, healthy weight or lifestyle initiatives.
• Employees wanting to make healthier choices: without following restrictive diets or complicated nutrition plans.

Why Understanding Food Labels matters in the workplace

• Better-informed choices: food labels can be confusing, making it difficult to judge which products are genuinely healthier.
• Everyday health literacy: understanding nutritional information gives employees practical skills they can use long after the webinar.
• Energy & concentration: everyday food choices can influence how energised and focused people feel during the working day.
• Long-term health: understanding portions, nutrients and fruit and vegetable intake can support healthier eating patterns over time.
• Practical wellbeing: rather than simply telling employees to “eat healthily”, the session gives them tools to make more informed decisions for themselves.
