Truly…the very word “NATURAL” in food levels of pacakaged foods tends to mislead consumers today.

So true. Natural does not mean more nutritious. It’s not a flag for a superior product. I think it’s a term that makes people feel better about buying processed food.

I was quite intrigued when I read about this trend and wrote about it on a recent Five for Fridays column. I think that the label “naturally sourced” is very much an oxymoron! Seems like the idea is to give an image of “naturalness” to foods processed by an unnatural process. I am not sure if a naturally sourced label makes a convincing argument about healthfulness of a processed food. It has taken a long time for the word “organic” to be properly defined to mean something, and yet there is still a lot of misunderstanding. I think that “naturally sourced” will end up creating a lot of confusion in the minds of consumers.
