Understand food label terms at Dogwood Pavilion session

Coquitlam rec centre for people 50+ hosts a workshop May 10 on reading and understanding food packaging labels.

Have you tried reading labels on your food — and failed?

On Tuesday, May 10 from 6:30 to 8 p.m., Laura Murray, a nutritionist from www.makinghealthychoices.ca, will be at Dogwood Pavilion to discuss food labels and what the terms on them mean.

“Fat free,” “light,” “no sugar added,” “all natural” — so many terms can make grocery shopping confusing. Participants will learn how to see through the marketing and make healthy choices when grocery shopping.

The cost to participate is $7 and pre-registration is required. This session is open to adults 50 and older. There will be handouts but a pen and paper might come in handy to make your own notes.

For more information and to register, visit www.coquitlam.ca/dogwood, call 604-927-4386 or visit a Coquitlam rec facility in person.
