It sounds like our food labelling, although by no means perfect, is easier to read and comprehend than American labels.

Food values are shown per 100g as well as per serving size.

This helps compare like for like across different manufacturers, but also gives an idea of how much you'll be eating. I use it most commonly when buying soup for the first time. I say push to their idea that half a tin is a serving; this is my main meal. But even with my poor maths I can easily double amounts. As well as knowing I won't look at that soup again because OMG look at the salt content!

We also have a "traffic lights" coding on the front of ready meals. Green is good, yellow is okay but watch what else you are eating that day and red is this better just be an occasional treat sweetheart. It's a useful immediate reference that starts the process of checking the details. I think the categories are fat, saturates, salt, sugar, each will be one colour. Actually I think some producers include calories too.
