The Plate Evidence
Label Cheat Sheet.
A 12-page, printable guide to reading a UK food label without falling for the loudest claim on the front.
£4
Think of a packet as a short legal document that happens to contain crisps. The front is the advertising. The back is the evidence. This sheet walks you through both, with official sources on the last page.
It is written in plain English by Jonathan Griffiths, BSc Human Nutrition, Diploma in Medical Science, qualified nutritionist and professional bodybuilder. It is general information about UK labelling rules, not personal medical or dietary advice.
What’s inside
- Front-of-pack traffic lights, including the portion override
- Ingredients lists and the “biggest first” rule
- The 14 allergens that must be emphasised
- E-number groups, with common examples

- Batch and lot codes, and how to use FSA alerts
- HFSS versus ultra-processed food

- Where Great Britain, Northern Ireland and the EU now diverge
