Label Detective Workshop - Read Between the Bites
This event concluded on Saturday, 6th June, 2026. Tickets are no longer available.
Overview
The Label Detective Workshop offered a vital life skill for children aged six to twelve, aiming to change how young ones understood their packaged snacks. Most children grew up consuming processed foods without realizing the actual ingredients inside them. This session provided a hands-on experience where kids directly handled real food packets to discover hidden sugars and examine various nutritional claims. By comparing products side by side and engaging in a practical Sugar Board activity, the participants learned to question marketing labels like high protein or multigrain. The event focused on teaching discovery through doing rather than relying on lectures or textbooks. Ultimately, every attendee earned the title of a Certified Food Label Detective, providing them with the necessary knowledge to make healthier dietary choices for the rest of their lives while understanding the context behind common food industry packaging and claims.
