Whole grain foods are a terrific source of important nutrients for your child, but beware of marketing tricks that make products sound more healthful than they really are!
Marketing Tricks:
PRODUCT COLOR
Just because a bread is brown does
NOT mean it’s whole grain. It may
just have added color.
PRODUCT NAME
Usually NOT whole-grain:
• Wheat bread
• Enriched wheat bread
• Stone Ground Wheat
• Multigrain
• Nine Grain
• Made with whole grain
