so i think “yipppeeee! truvia!” so you’d think it’d be acceptable…
truvia and logo prominently placed…
first frickin’ ingredient is sugar…that i didn’t notice until i looked online for scoopable versus packets 
at least i caught it a couple of days in and my overall carbs are super low
so annoying that you can’t trust anything you don’t make yourself without putting it under a microscope…which i didn’t happen to have with me at stater bros
Truvia is the product of a joint venture between Coca Cola and Cargill…That should tell you all you need to know.
Two of the largest food conglomerates in the world jointly own the brand Truvia. Wouldn’t expect much truth in labeling coming from them.
thanks for explaining 
at this point it’s 100% my fault for being in a hurry and not thoroughly reading…
i know better ugh
i just saw truvia and know that’s erythitol and stevia and thought i had scored lol
I get so annoyed with this kind of thing. It totally ticks me off I have to bring a magnifying glass with me when I shop anymore.
I am at the point that I’d just rather make my own food all the time. Not feasible to have a social life, but I’m getting pretty obsessive about the ingredients other people are putting in my food (namely bad vegetable oils and sugars).
Try to limit any restaurant food and I definitely check all nutrition labels and ingredients now. But, not complaining. I wish everyone was concerned with what they fuel their body with.
While that is certainly admirable if you can pull it off, it would cause too much stress for me. I control what I can and what I can’t I just attempt to make the best choices available to me. I don’t stress over it. Life is too short to be stressed all the time and I enjoy being out and about with family and friends.
Yeah I picked up something similar the other day. It had Stevia plastered all over it and lite and stuff. Mostly brown sugar. Bastards. I felt like emptying it on the floor!
I am so thankful for my garden and my freezer. People used to live off their land, and I choose to do the same. People have been trained to rely on stores for their meals. After a few generations of training, people think shopping in stores is perfectly normal, in fact living off your land has become abnormal. After learning how to do for yourself, it’s remarkable how little we need in a grocery store. I do buy salt there.
My eyesight is getting worse and the print size of labels seems to shrink. I don’t carry a magnifying glass but have found I can use my phone camera and zoom it in the viewer. As long as the lighting is good enough to get a clear picture it has worked for the worst labels I’ve seen.
I wear pretty powerful glasses these days, and I can read well-designed labels, but some are simply badly designed, and much less legible than they ought to be.
I don’t know what the regulation situation is in the USA, but as you probably know, the EU is highly regulated (and the UK was, even before the EU, and will probably remain so).
So there are strict standards about the content of labels, but I suspect not very much about label legibility. I have long thought that there should be regulation about point size of type, and background colour (default being black print on white background as far as I’m concerned).
(and point size should generally be quite a bit bigger than it tends to be now).
There may need to be exceptions for labels on small containers, but they would need to be just that: exceptional.
Photo idea is a good one though (although I know that some stores would get funny about that…).
I only just yesterday learned how to use Magnifier on my iPhone to get big views of labels. In Settings, click General – Accessibility-- Magnifier On
Then triple click the Home button to see things bigger. Doh!
