Frozen pizza with everything or a specific type of pizza?

We buy it, but how do we choose it?

Do we go directly to the store and pick one? Do we read the label? Pay attention, the label must be in Romanian , and the ingredients listed in descending order.

What Do Food Labels Reveal ? InfoCons – Consumer Protection informs you !

It’s important to pay attention to what and how much it contains, from additives to salt, sugar (yes, sugar), nutritional information, and allergens.

And thus, we can choose what we really want.

A pizza as close as possible to what we imagine and desire, with tomato sauce and perhaps not just 5% tomatoes in the sauce and the rest … with salami or ham that contains meat, not MDM-type protein, with cheese that contains milk of animal origin, etc.

Otherwise, we end up with a product that is a cocktail of many additives, which may contain an ingredient even 2-3 times in the same product, the same additive with many colorants, salt, and sugar, making us think twice about eating a dessert or not, in order not to exceed in a single meal the maximum content recommended by the WHO for 24 hours – 5 grams of salt and 25 grams of sugar. Attention, the information is for 100 grams of product, not for a whole pizza.

Pay attention to storage conditions, transport from the store to home, and last but not least, the recommendation for defrosting and subsequent semi-preparation.

If we order online, we should find on the online order platforms all the information that is found on the label to make an informed decision about what we are buying and the price we are paying for what and how much we are really buying.

If we want for our children, family, friends, and ourselves to have a proper meal, we should pay a little attention to the minimal information, but also to the Dangerous Products Alert System in the Free InfoCons App because lately more and more products, even pizza types, are found to be non-compliant with direct health impacts on everyone.

Let’s choose with a new attitude! With confidence, but also with attention, a frozen pizza, but necessarily informed and knowledgeable!

Enjoy your meal!
