Read a food label in small steps

Compare like with like.

Check whether nutrition values are per serving or per 100 g. A listed serving may differ from the amount you eat. Compare products on the same basis.

Look at energy, sugars, salt or sodium and saturated fat. Check ingredients and allergens too. Start with one item rather than trying to judge the whole shop.
