Nutritional Information

Why doesn't QVC put nutritional and calorie information on all of its food products. Are they afraid we won't buy it if they tell us. Is the food that unhealthy? Other networks put all of that info right on the web. I won't buy food unless I know what's in it

I agree. At the very least provide the information on the website.

I always look up the ingredients, even if I must check other sites to find them.

Totally agree....I don't buy food that does not list ingredients.

Agreed. The food products always have more sugar, fat, sodium, and calories than l expected. I guess the Q would lose a lot of sales of they disclosed this information. But I surmise most people don't care.

I care about what I eat and so I will not order food items b/c QVC will not listen to us and post nutritional info on their food items. With all the technology that is avaible today with electronic media, it should be of no problem to show a nutrtion label on the television screen. I too have come to the conclusion that the calorie counts and other nutritional facts are too much.

Couldn't agree more! I thought ALL food needed to show nutritional value on its packaging! Come on QVC!

Count me in as one who reads labels and I also want to know country of origin.

@dex, I agree. Country of origin is a huge deal.

I'm on a paleo diet and I eat a lot of raw food, so I want to know that my fruits and veggies are grown in the USA.

I wouldn't eat any processed food that has been either made or "processed" (like chicken) in China.

I have seen separate PDF files under item descriptions that contain nutritional information for at least some food products. I agree that info should be available for all. Do the products themselves have the info on the packaging? I haven't ordered food items (other than honeybells) for years.

I was just thinking yesterday that most of the food they sell on the Q isn't healthy at all...........calorie/fat laden to the max. Besides, if I'm going to make a desert, cookie, or a pie/cake, I'm going to use a family recipie or something from a cookbook and make it myself. I don't need a label to tell me 99 percent of that stuff is bad for me.

Yes, the products have the nutritional info on the packages, just like all the packages have the nutritional info on all the products that you would find in your local grocery store.
