Top 5 deceptive labels on food products

0 Trans Fats: Trans fats are industrially created by moderately hydrogenating plant oils; making them more soaked, with a higher melting point and longer shelf-life.

  • Why we use this LabeI: Trans fats have gotten a bad smack and have been banned in some cities. As a result, product companies are frustrating to disassociate themselves with this kind of fat.
  • Complaint with the Label: Initially, if these fats are scientifically created, then there is no reason that a product should cover them in the first place. Second, now since a food has 0 Trans Fats doesn't mean the food is non-fat or low-fat; and if the product does have fat, it may contain saturated fat, which is still a very unhealthy fat .


Include Whole Grains:
Flour made with whole grains is much improved for you than processed or lightened flour. You get more fiber and benefits from the whole grain variety.

  • Why we use this LabeI: Lots of cereal, bread and baked good product companies have been advertising their use of whole grains in their products to make their products seem more healthful than those that use processed flour.
  • Complaint with the Label: Unfortunately, once again, having whole grains doesn't mean it is healthy. The product may contain a lot of sugar, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and fat.

Low-Fat: Several foods that aren't obviously low in fat, especially baked goods (e.g., cookies, cakes, brownies, muffins), have lower fat options.

  • Why we use this LabeI: These products are well-liked with dieters because they appear to be more healthful than their higher fat complements. Further, lower fat is often associated with lower calories.
  • Complaint with the Label: Low-fat versions of higher fat foods frequently contain GOBS of sugar and are very high in simple and sophisticated carbohydrates. So, in reality, the products are repeatedly not any better for you...in essence, you are surrogate one bad ingredient for a different bad ingredient.


Sugar-Free:
These foods that are low in fat, obviously sugary foods have seen an incursion of 'sugar-free' options. Frequently, these are good options for diabetics or individuals those who have blood sugar problems.

· Why we use this LabeI: Sugar, like fat, insert a lot of calories to a product. As a result, this label request to dieters who are appearing to reduce their caloric intake, further expanding a product company's market share.

· Complaint with the Label: Dietetic options are often made with artificial sweeteners. Lots of artificial sweeteners (E.g., splenda, nutrasweet, aspartame, etc.) are highly contentious and in many studies have been linked to cancer. If it isn't natural, keep on away from it!


No Sugar Added:
A food is allowed to possess this on the label if no sugar or sugar-containing ingredient (for example, fruit juices, applesauce, or dried fruit) is added during processing or packing.

  • Why we use this LabeI: The point is to support the product as being lower calorie than a product that may have added sugar in it. These appeals to those individuals who don't essentially like the 'sugar-free' option, but don't want any additional sugar in their products.
  • Complaint with the Label: If a product is previously pretty sweet (E.g., fruit juices), there is no reason to add sugar, so why do you need to publicize it? Moreover, some products that claim 'no sugar added' may still use other sweeteners, either artificial or natural. These may contain: turbinado, honey, sucrose, fructose, corn syrup or lactose. All of which have calories, give to weight gain and contain carbohydrates.

Labelflash and its Functions


A technology developed by Yamaha Corp. and Fuji Photo Film Co. that enables consumers to burn images directly onto a special dye layer on a disc, using the same laser used for data recording. To burn images and text, you must use the complete Labelflash system which consists of special Labelflash DVD media and a recording system which supports the labelflash function. Labelflash technology burns the image 0.6mm deep into the media in as little as five minutes.


General Specifications of Labelflash System:

Laser wavelength - 655 nm

NA - 0.65

Picture burning time - 5 min (Fast mode) to 20 min (High quality mode)


General Specifications of Labelflash Disc:

Depth Picture burning layer - 0.6 mm from the disc surface

Dye for Picture burning layer - Organic dye

Picture burning area - 25mm to 58 mm


How it works


Generally, a burning function will supply a DVD recorder with raw digital data, to which the recorder's hardware insert header and error rectification information and then converts it into the so-called eight to sixteen (EFM+) modulated patterns. These are the little portions of data that get written to the disc exactly like printed labels.


The altered patterns for DVD writing differ from a minimum value to a maximum value. A grouping of these patterns, is used for writing to DVD-R and DVD+R. The result is that the flamed area looks gloomy than the unused area. LabelFlash takes things in advance and breaks free from the limitations forced by normal modulated patterns. This permits more flexibility in how the laser burns onto DVD recordable media, making the creation of visible images possible.
