do you read/checking product labels before purchasing?

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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:)

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.

Yes, I do check the Nutritional info on the boxes of the packaged goods to make sure it is healthy for me to eat. I do check the expiry date so I don't wind up eating expired food that can make me sick. Thanks.
