Almost of us know that too many processed foods, drinks and other foods have
excess of sugar, fats and calories. Also, we know that vegetables and fruits
have many chemicals and cold meats aren’t entirely healthy because animals don’t
live in the best conditions or feeding. Well, recently in Mexico, PROFECO who is an
Institution that protects and promotes consumer rights has forced companies to
add new information on their products (black labels). This was news everywhere
because some products don’t meet health standards and were taken off the
market. For example, I used to buy almond milk, then I changed it to coconut
milk. I am a person that always reads the “Health information” of every product, and then I buy the best option (yes! my shopping groceries take much time). So,
a few weeks ago, I went to the market because I was going to buy milk and other
groceries, so I saw the new black label on almond milk “Contiene edulcorantes no
recomendable en niños” (Contains non-recommended sweeteners for children). I was
very shocked because in the past I thought that this product was healthy, I had
read the “Nutrion facts” before and it was the reason why used to buy that
product. The worst of this is that many people don't care about this and they still
buy the same products. The best of this is the companies should improve or
changed their products for healthier ones. What is your opinion about this? Do
you buy healthy products or not?
