CONFUSION over food labelling could be dispelled by a leaflet available from Worcestershire County Council.

You Are What You Eat explains use-by and best before dates and clarifies varying descriptions on products. The leaflet also explains ingredients and nutritional information panels.

Paul Whitehouse, divisional manager for the council's trading standards department, said: "This leaflet has been developed because of demand."

It is available by ringing 01905 765373.
