Guides for parents
Short, source-backed explanations of what you see on a packaged food label — written for parents, using the same age-specific references and thresholds KidoChoice uses when it reviews a product. No fear-based language, and no conclusions about your individual child.
Added sugar on your child's labelWhy the guidance is different before age 2, what the 25-gram reference means, and how one serving is interpreted.Sodium on your child's labelThere is no single sodium number for all children. The reference changes at every age band — see each one and how a serving is interpreted.
