How to choose food & nutrition
Start with ingredients, dietary suitability and the amount you will actually eat. Compare equivalent serving sizes rather than letting a small pack look cheaper than a larger one.
| Check before buying | Why it matters | Trade-off or limit |
|---|---|---|
| Ingredients, allergens and cross-contact warnings | Read the current packaging, not just an online headline. | Plant-based does not necessarily mean vegan or suitable for an allergy. |
| Unit price and usable servings | Compare price per kilogram or litre and the portion you normally use. | Bulk buying saves little if food expires before you finish it. |
| Storage, shelf life and sourcing scope | Check whether refrigeration and a named certification apply to this exact product. | An organic or fair-trade claim does not describe every nutritional or environmental outcome. |
Common mistake: Treat supplement and wellness claims cautiously; a shopping score is not evidence that a food treats a condition.
Checking the Cruelty-Free / Leaping Bunny label
This list uses the Cruelty-Free / Leaping Bunny label recorded in the catalogue. Check the named certifier, current status and whether the claim applies to the whole company, one range or this exact item. A label does not guarantee performance, value or suitability for your needs.
