4. Read the text and choose the correct answers
As a food label is often nothing more than an advert to tempt you to buy the product, you should pay particular attention to the choice of words used. Always watch out for the word flavour, as this may mean that the product contains synthetic ingredients. Many manufacturers also use a range of meaningless descriptions. Feel-good words like wholesome, farmhouse, original and traditional do not mean anything. Other words, such as farm fresh and country fresh, also intentionally blur the true nature of a product’s source. Words that you can trust are organic, whole meal, natural mineral water, Fair Trade, free-range and the V, vegetarian symbol. Consumer pressure over GM foods has led to better labeling but loopholes still exist. GM product derivatives, such as starches, sugars, fats and oils where no genetically modified protein or DNA material still remains, go unlabeled in many products such as cereal bars, fish fingers, jellies and vegetable burgers.
