Before you put that food in your trolley, take 10 seconds to check the label. In this Shelf Shock UK video, we look at 12 everyday foods where checking the ingredients, nutrition information, pack size and labelling can make a real difference to what you’re actually buying.

We’ll look at practical label-checking tips based on UK food labelling rules, the traffic light nutrition system and official NHS guidance.
