Understanding beverage labels is key to making informed dietary choices. Here’s how to decode them like a pro, along with how Tea Industries ensures compliance with nutrition regulations.
Start with Serving Size
The serving size is the foundation of the label. It tells you the quantity the nutritional values apply to. For example, a bottle may contain servings, meaning you’d double the numbers if you consume the whole thing.
Tip: Check the serving size and compare it to how much you actually drink.
Check Calories and Macronutirients
Calories - This number tells you how much energy you’ll get per serving, not per bottle.
Carbohydrates- (including sugars and fiber) affect blood sugar levels.
Protein & Fats- contribute to satiety and overall health.
Tea Industries ensures transparency by listing these clearly, especially for teas wit added ingredients like honey or mil.
% Daily Value
This shows how much a nutrient contributes to your daily diet. 5% or less is low, 20% or more is high
Identity Added Sugars & Hidden Ingredients
The FDA mandates listing added sugars separately from natural ones. Tea Industries complies clearly distinguishing between naturally occurring sugars (e.g. In fruit-infused teas) and added sweeteners.
Why This Matters
- Consumer Confidence: Shoppers know exactly what is in every Tea Industries beverage.
- Global Compliance: Meet or exceed standards wherever products are sold.
