Whole grains

These buns, which are "made with whole grain," have enriched bleached flour as their first ingredient and provide only 1 gram of fiber per slice. A good choice in bread would list "whole wheat" as the first ingredient and should provide at least twice that much fiber plus all the extra nutrients found in the wheat bran. In other products, look for those with labels that say they contain "100 percent whole grain" or "100 percent whole wheat." If you want to know the whole truth, check the ingredients list: refined white flour (aka enriched wheat flour, unbleached wheat flour, or just wheat flour) should not appear on the list at all or show up only near the end.

"Cage free" or "free range"

The USDA doesn't regulate the use of the term "cage free" at all. And it uses "free range" only for poultry, not other meat or eggs. Even for chicken, the term doesn't mean much—5 minutes of open-air access daily is all it takes to qualify.
