An Innocent Predicament


I'm always on the search for healthy options for lunch but I find some of the premade options available in the shop around the corner, whilst delicious, far from good for me! It those handy little traffic light displays on the labling that put me off the prepacked sandwiches full of staurated fat, sugar and salt - and quite rightly so. I think this is a great step forward in informing people about what is really inside their food.

So when I discovered Innocent VegPots for lunch I was over the moon - 3 of my 5 a day in one handy healthy pot. Hurrah! But wait a minute.... Where's the Nutritional information? I know I get 3 portions of veg in the pot - it says so on the card sleeve but what about the rest, the hidden stuff that those unhealthy sandwiches now warn me about in bright red wedges?

 I went on a bit of a GDA hunt before I brought my lunch today. It wasn't on the top of the pack, or the sides. Perhaps....

Yup, BINGO! Right on the bottom.
And look at that! Not only do these pots of veggie goodness taste fab but they are pretty good for you too. I've seen prepacked salads on offer with more sugar, salt and fat than these bad boys.

So Mr Innocent, please can you put some GDA traffic lights in a more prominent place on your packaging? It really helps us pick our lunches.
