Flip the pack: test claims like LOW FAT or NO ADDED SUGAR against the Nutrition Facts label.
Front-of-Pack Detective teaches kids to test what a package says against the back of the pack. Each round shows a made-up product with one or two claims on the front; the player flips it to a real-style Nutrition Facts label and ingredient list, marks each claim TRUE or MISLEADING, and taps the label line or ingredient that proves it, so a lucky guess is not enough. The rules are the real ones: LOW FAT is 3 g or less, a good source of fiber is 10–19% DV, calories are per serving not per pack, and ingredients are listed from most to least. Wrong answers explain why with this label's numbers. Best for Grades 4–6.
