🌍💧 This #WorldFoodDay is a reminder that water is finite and our food choices matter.

By reducing water & #FoodWaste, changing what we eat and how food is produced, we conserve water and ensure it's available for all. Together, we can take #WaterAction and be the change!

[European Food Information Council (EUFIC) @EUFIC]

🏷️ #DidYouKnow? Up to 10% of the 88 million tonnes of #FoodWaste generated annually in the EU is due to date marking confusion!

Let's get clear on the difference between "use by" & "best before" dates, and cut down on this unnecessary waste. 🍞🥫

Summer is here, and we want to know: what are your go-to fruit and vegetable recipes to beat the heat? ☀️

Our multicultural staff at #EUFIC have shared some of their all-time favourites! 🤤

@cynthi_vargas24 @ISPMBern Dear @cynthi_vargas24 thank you so much for all your support! And yes, let's eat more fruits and vegetables, five a day! ☺️

[European Food Information Council (EUFIC) @EUFIC]

Let's set the record straight: 🥬 Fresh, 🥫 canned, or ❄️ frozen - all forms of fruit & vegetables are fantastic choices and count towards your #5aDay!

The key is to ensure we consume enough of them and prioritise options low in salt & with no added sugar.

🌱🍇🥦 #DidYouKnow that our diet plays a crucial role in shaping our gut microbiota?

Embracing a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, pulses & fermented foods nourishes our #microbiota and promotes better digestion, stronger immunity & overall well-being. It's time to spice up our plates!

El cultivo de tabaco daña nuestra salud y la salud del planeta.

✅Necesitamos avanzar en la prevención y el control del tabaco para proteger a la población, especialmente a los jóvenes, que son blanco de las tácticas de la industria tabacalera.

🧂 It doesn't matter if your #salt is black, pink or white or comes from the Dead Sea, the Himalayas or the Andes mountains. They are all high in #sodium which in excess is bad for health. So don't let the fancy names fool you, and sprinkle in moderation! #SaltAwarenessWeek

¿Es malo picar entre horas? Depende de lo que piques entre horas.
Las palomitas caseras, por ejemplo, son la mar de saludables, como cualquier otro grano integral.

WHO's systematic review on the use of non-sugar sweeteners found no evidence of long-term benefits in achieving weight control in adults or children. Conversely, there might be an increased risk of diabetes, CVDs, and mortality in adults.

Just because it says 'eco-friendly' doesn't mean it's true! 🙅🏻💚

Avoid #greenwashing by looking for legit schemes, reading food labels carefully, researching brands' sustainability practices and becoming a more conscious consumer.

Want to make healthier choices at the store? Watch for foods low in salt, sugar & saturated fat. 👀

Two products may look similar but contain very different amounts of nutrients. Remember to check the #NutritionLabel & compare between products for the healthier choice. 💪

Want to know what's in your food? Check the ingredient list!

💡#FoodIngredients are listed in order of quantity, from highest to lowest - e.g., if sugar is the first or second ingredient, it means the product is mostly made up of sugar.

[European Food Information Council (EUFIC) @EUFIC]

There is only one way to know for sure if a product is made with whole grains: by reading the label! 🔍

Always check the list of ingredients. If the first and/or second ingredients contain the word ‘whole’ (e.g., whole wheat or whole rye), the product is likely #wholegrain.

📰 Recent news stories reported that sweetener #erythritol has been
linked to an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

So, does this mean we should avoid it? 🤔 Before doing so, here are a few things to remember when reading the headlines. @EUSWEET2

@guille1986mp @joel27799310 Eso mismo pensé yo.

@Midietacojea En Colombia nunca se ha vendido como una "leche vegetal". Creo que está es la confusión en España, dónde desconozco si se toma Avena preparada en leche como se hace en Colombia.

[Magda Gamba @magdargamba]

@Midietacojea El producto es muy común en Colombia (país originario de Alpina) porque es una preparación tradicional del país. Avena preparada en leche que se toma fría y con canela. Creo que hay un malentendido por la pegatina del etiquetado y si, necesita mayor claridad en el empaque.
