About this session
A specialist workshop on the food-label information that matters most for digestive health.
Participants compare real products and learn to read fiber content, whole-grain ingredients, fermented-food and live-culture claims, and probiotic and prebiotic marketing.
The aim is confident everyday choices, not perfect ones. The workshop is food education, not individual dietary advice.
