do you read /checking product labels before purchasing?

Yes I do check the label before buying a certain product.. I always check for the expiration date, nutritional value and ingredients.. i am diabetic and i always need to watch what i eat.. i don't go for products that have msg, salt, saturated fat and a alike..

I make a point to check everything I buy. I turn every egg in the carton to make sure it isn't stuck, I always buy the milk with the latest expiration date. When it comes to processed goods, like canned or frozen foods, I check the ingredients before buying. I am not a fan of a lot of sodium and preservatives in food. Most of the food I buy is fresh, not canned or frozen. I try to buy organic whenever possible.

I always check the Nutrition Facts of the products I'm interested in - whether I'm buying it at that moment or not, as long as I have to time to. I want to know the general content: how much fat, sugar, carbs, and total calories per serving of course. I'm still getting used to determining which is good and which is bad. When I get better, I'd probably look at the ingredients too (although I sometimes do look at that section). I also generally don't buy stuff that don't provide nutrition information because I don't trust manufacturers that don't make it a point to inform its customers of what their products contain. Thanks for the response on my discussion :)

When I was younger and never think of being a health conscious, i never did that. But nowadays after I became health conscious I am already particular of reading label at any grocery items before buying it. I am already very particular on the kind of preservatives and sugar contents on it..thanks nice topic..

Yes,I'd like always read labels of products,I am buying,to check the expiration date,the contents,the nutritional and things like that...It is important that my son likes first of all,followed by reading labels carefully,let the child decide whether or not to be his own needs.

hello there again ckyera.... yes i do read the labels of the product that i buy. i make sure that it is not expired. I don't want to be a victim of food poisoning. i want to know if the content would be good for my health or if i am not allergic to it.... i think everybody should look the labels before buy any item in the grocery. have a nice day...

Not always. There are certain brands to which I am loyal, I buy their products every month so for these, I don’t need to check out the labels every time. Otherwise if I am buying something for the first time, I check out the labels for the pricing, weight, price, expiry date etc.

Hi Ckyera, I usually look for the expiry date as well as original place of manufacture, especially if it's foodstuff. I'm not so particular about other products.

Yes I do check labels and nutritional value of a product before I brought it. It is very important that I know what I'm eating. Expiration date is one thing I don't forget to check.

Yes, I do check it most of the time, but not always esepcially if I am in a hurry to buy and leave the place. I make it a point to check the labels especially when I buy things which will be good only for a short period of time like bread, meat, etc. I feel very bad to waste food items. Once I had a medicine for worms, which had gone out of validity time. It was sitting on my table and my mom was keep on asking me to have it, but I didn't take it. On a sudden I thought of having the tablet and had it. It was out of time and it created allergy to me. There was itching and swelling on my lips. After that I make it a point to check the label before purchasing and before having it.

Hi Ckyera, I don't check it all the time. I mean, i won't check that detaily, but i will definitely check the expiration data! Because what we eat is the most important thing to our life! I think sometimes is good to check out the detail like how many % of the sugar or fat or something like that!

It's my must-do when i purchase something. Especially the expiration date. We should check it whenever we buy a product for consume. I think become a smart and thorough person is one of healthy lifestyle. An expired product usually the substance become toxic. And it's very dangerous for our health. Some sellers due of careless could still selling expired products. We can't 100% blame them. Just tell them kindly if we find expired products on their store. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

Usually I will read the product label before buying a product, especially the expired date and the nutritional facts. For the ingredients used in the products, i will just glance through it as I do not understand most of the terms in these part.

hi!i am very paticular when it comes to my son's foods especially his milk and breads. Here in the philippines most promotional items include additional grams/items for free to attract more buyers. And as a responsible consumer, you have to check for whatever catch is hidden, some products drop their price real low but would expire the next day. For others who dont practice product/label check will just be surprised to see molds on their bread right after just a day of buying it.End-result?they didn't actually save cash but actually lost it over a product they didn't enjoy. Another important thing to check;if you're buying meat that needs to be weighed and priced manually..before leaving the shop, check if the price was really intended for the type of meat you bought. A few days ago i bought pork ribs at the price of p180/kg.When they gave me the meat i saw the price and it was astonishingly higher than i expected it to be...p263/kg.When i read the label, they priced it after baby back ribs so i returned it and they apologized for the miss-out.

Yes normally happen that i will check the labels of a product that i want buy but in some cases not!!So may be when i will buy a real weel-known product or one that i know very good so i don't check this everytime just take and go...so if i will buy a new product or that one i don't know much about it so i used to read labels and all concerned this before buy!!

Yes, you are right! I always check the expiration date first and other details later on when buying food and beverage products in a grocery store. Because there are chances that the owner forgot to take out the expired foods. My advice is always buying the products in a grocery store or hypermarket that you already trusted.

I always check any products before buying it for the expiration date. It is important for that. I don't want a product near or already after the date. Then, for new products that I want to try, I'll check the labels for content inside. There's some item/food that can't be eaten in my religion. it is important to check it carefully as I am responsible to feed everyone else in the family too.

I check everything new I'm buying. With exceptions like milk, eggs, yogurt, etc. for the expiration. I'm vegetarian, so I also have to check labels on new foods that I'm getting. The only time I don't it when it is actually labeled vegetarian.

Well, it depends on my mood and on the item. Sometimes, I do check the labels, expiration date and nutritional contents and sometimes not. If an item is for my child, then I always take note nutritional contents and even compared with other brands before purchasing.

I read the labels at all time! From food, to cosmetics, toiletteries, laundries and everything. I don't want to purchase expired item neither will expire soon. Some shop keepers do not allow to return, therefore I'm a lil careful before I spend my money.
