McCain Foods has recently reframed its Pizza Pockets as a healthy food option, pointing to the fact they are baked instead of fried and made with "wholesome ingredients that contain no artificial colours or flavours". However, one Pizza Pocket contains 11 grams of fat, which is more than a Boston cream doughnut, and 470 milligrams of sodium, more than a large serving of French fries at a fast food restaurant. This is an example of a company
falsifying their Nutrition Facts Table
using nutritional claims to mislead people in believing their product is healthy
neglecting to focus on artificial flavours, colours and preservatives
reporting specific nutrients in their product
Kelloggs promotes the health benefits of its NUTRA GRAIN cereal bars by making reference to a "golden baked crust of wheat and whole grains mixed with a variety of fillings made with real fruit".
However, each bar contains more than 12 grams of sugar and the first ingredient, listed by weight, is regular, white flour. The issue with this nutritional claim is
the first ingredient is not "whole grain" and "real fruit" does not equate to low sugar
the bar is a good source of nutrition because it is baked, is made with whole grains and the filling is real fruit
the sugar content combined with white flour makes this product highly desirable
the bar is not nutritional, has little to no health benefits and the claims are misleading
