The healthy lifestyle trend has already taken over large retail chains . The Principality has a selection of organic departments in its Carrefour , Casino and Marché U supermarkets . Their shelves abound in ‘ bio ’, ‘ organic ’, ‘ lactose / gluten / sugar-free ’ goods … One would think this is a guarantee of a high quality product . Before you start your ‘ wellness ’ shopping , however , it is good to know what to read into these terms . The promising ‘ bio ’ or ‘ eco ’ labeling does not always mean that the product has any special properties . It may still contain lactose , gluten and various sweeteners . ‘ Lactose-free ’ does not necessarily exclude sugar in its composition which may well ruin your diet .

Only certain European countries actually use these labels for organic products .
� The ‘ EU Organic Bio ’ or euro-leaf is one of the most common for the European Union . 95 % of its ingredients are issued from organic farming practices .
� AB (‘ agriculture biologique ’) is the French organic farming standard stating that the products are at least 95 % organic .
� Vegan is an internationally recognized label meaning that the products are vegetarian and do not contain ingredients of animal origin .
Once you are confident of your healthy nutrition terminology , go for the ‘ right ’ shopping .
