Decoding food labels

The jargon on any food label is enough to scare anyone off. We attempt to solve the puzzle.

Commonly used terms

These terms are found on practically every food package. And we still don't know what they mean.

Enriched:

One or more nutrients are added. For example, enriched whole meal brown bread enriched with fibre.

Fortified:

One or more nutrients are added during processing. For example, breakfast cereals are fortified with vitamins and minerals; iodised salt is fortified with iodine.

Health food:

A promotional term used to imply that a certain food has health-giving qualities beyond its expected nutritive value

Natural food:

A product that has minimal or no refinement or processing (not a legally-regulated term). A product with this claim may not only contain artificial flavours, colours and preservatives, but may also be loaded with fat, sugar, calories and sodium.

Organically grown food: Food grown and processed without chemicals and pesticides (not a legally-regulated term).

Fat related:

These terms alert weight watchers, diabetics and heart patients.

Cholesterol free:

Less than 2 mg cholesterol per serving.

Low cholesterol:

Less than 20 mg of cholesterol per serving.

Cholesterol reduced:

Reformulated or processed foods to lower …

Chef Courses

Beginning chef courses can be found at your local community college or vocational school, such as those offered by the West Valley Occupational Center (WVOC) in Woodland Hills, California. Centers like this offer short-term training in technical and vocational subjects. These courses often earn community college credit as well.

Be aware that attendance policies at community occupational centers can be quite strict, since there are always waiting lists. At WVOC, food-handling courses require a Tuberculosis (TB) Test to be passed first, partly due to the large number of immigrants in the region. Other areas of the U.S. and Canada, and elsewhere, may have similar requirements. At least, it is hoped that only healthy people are allowed to work in the food and catering industry, but that may be difficult to enforce.

More advanced chef courses are offered by cooking schools, well-known in their region, or even across borders. One example is the affiliation between the Canadian Personal Chef Alliance (CPCA) and Liaison College Downtown Toronto (Ontario), which offers several diploma programs and financial assistance. Graduating students receive a one-year membership in CPCA with all its benefits of expert advice, at no cost.
