01 Feb 2019 --- A US study shows that 33 percent of Americans have accidentally bought food that does not align with their dietary requirements and do so on a weekly basis – and they blame poor labeling. Just over three-quarters (76 percent) have unintentionally consumed food restricted from their diet with the main reason being that they were served the wrong food by waiting service while eating out. And 37 percent of respondents listed poor food labeling as the second most common reason for purchasing incorrect products.
