Maybe my original idea is old hat---
I shop the perimeter of the grocery stores now so I don't need to read the labels very much. But now my son cannot eat gluten and he's reading labels.
Here is my idea that needs work. How about a thin stripes around food products? boxes, cans, frozen food, jars green stripe----no gluten silver stripe----no sugar cyan stripe-----no caffeine sunny yellow---no salt white-----------no wheat Can you think of any more ingredients that require warnings? I tried to make the colors start with the letter of the ingredient as best I could. |

I've been reading labels for years. It drives me crazy that the print on the labels is so small you have to take a magnifying glass to the grocery store! So, you might have a good idea!
But the grocery stores will never go along with it. How would they be able to move all the items to different aisles? By moving things around, they get the consumer to look at more aisles and see different products. Items that probably weren't on their shopping list. It's a win for the grocer because the consumer spends more money. The color coding would defeat their purpose.

The box has a cyan stripe and silver stripe. You would know it was caffeine free and had no sugar. The other stripes are missing so this item has gluten,salt,wheat,msg. no reading My son would only look for items that have a green stripe. the legend or rules,,,if it has a: green stripe----no gluten silver stripe----no sugar cyan stripe-----no caffeine sunny yellow---no salt white-----------no wheat matalic blue---no msg I think the store might sell more to my son because he has more money than time. So I could see him trying lot's of products with green stripes. Last edited by tomwed; 01-07-2016 at 01:28 PM. |
