Labeling Laws: United States vs. Canada
We will have a station where we explain the differences between the labeling laws of the US and those of other countries, especially Canada. As you may already know, there are many flaws in the labeling laws of the US that make it very hard for people with food allergies to truly know if what they are eating is safe or not.
Label Reading Exhibit
There will also be two label reading stations. We will have one for beginners who do not have a lot of experience with label reading and one for people who do. The station for the inexperienced people will have a label reading demonstration where they will learn how to properly read labels. They will then get the opportunity to practice reading some labels. The other station will be for the more experienced people. They will be asked to sort different products with tricky labeling into two groups: safe and not safe based on one or more allergens.
