December 11, 2015 / in [Health & Wellness](https://go.thekarisgroup.com/blog/tag/health-wellness) / by **[Lindsay Langteau](https://go.thekarisgroup.com/blog/author/lindsay-langteau)** Manufacturer ingredients and food content is under increasing scrutiny lately. In June, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ruled to ban trans fats from foods over the course of the next three years. But, with trans fats banned, do you truly know what is in your food? WebMD’s recent article [*The Dirty Secrets of ‘Clean’ Labels*](http://www.webmd.com/news/breaking-news/food-additives/20150723/foods-clean-labels) discusses the growing trend of consumers more closely examining the ingredients of the foods they buy. For some, like the woman highlighted in the article, it’s the realization that the number one ingredient in the food she was feeding her one-year-old was high-fructose corn syrup. For others it’s a food allergy or a health warning from their doctor. Whatever your motivation, the need to review food labels is becoming more common as ingredient amounts and names are becoming ever [confusing](http://www.seattletimes.com/life/wellness/with-trans-fats-banned-what-new-evils-lurk-in-processed-foods/) or [hidden](http://www.webmd.com/news/breaking-news/food-additives/added-sugar). Recommendations for shopping natural, clean and healthy foods abound. For many, the consensus to stay on the edges of the grocery stores (around the produce aisles) is a winner. A recent Health Co-Op [blog post](http://thehealthcoop.com/blog/the-aisle-of-truth-balancing-your-health-and-budget-at-the-grocery-store/) detailed organic versus non-organic produce reviewing the “dirty dozen and clean fifteen”.
