In this episode, Max is joined by Swetha Sivakumar from @upgrade_my_food as they take a peek into the labels at the back of packages. While the Front of the Package(FOP) can have a lot of marketing spiel, the label at the back often speaks the truth.
There's a ton of misinformation floating around by influencers that deem anything that isn't commonly available as bad. While that isn't always the case, we take a look at preservatives, emulsifiers, fats & other additives that are necessary and not harmful versus ones you should try to avoid.
Sit back, with a notepad or burn into your memory so that the next time you're at the grocery store, you know what to look for.
