The Health Star Rating gives an overall indication of a food’s nutritional quality and additional information that provides an overview of the key nutrients within the product – such as salt, fats, sugars and fibre – so consumers have an easy-to-reference guide.
The Health Star Rating system was developed by industry, consumer, and public health groups with support from government. The first two products introduced each have a Health Star Rating of 4 out of 5 stars. The new front-of-pack labelled products will be on supermarket shelves from this week. (MHFCo.), an Australian-made and family-owned breakfast food company, has today launched Australia’s first products to display a Health Star Rating on its packaging.
