  4. Food labels • If you have a look in the kitchen cupboard, you’ll notice that most food packets have labels telling you what is in them. • What sorts of things appear on the labels? • Do you think that they should show anything else? • The Food Standards Agency regulates what goes on food labels. Have a look at their website and see if you can find out anything interesting.
