Goal action plan

Implementation of on pack/online interpretative nutritional information wherever there is no regulatory barrier. Nutritional labeling systems can be presented on the food packages or via online platforms (websites, apps, etc.) with the aim of supporting consumers to make healthier food choices by delivering simplified nutritional information. These shall be summary indicator systems such as the Nutri-Score or the Health Star Rating System; OR nutrient specific systems like traffic lights format or warning labels or similar; OR endorsement logos that are based on nutritional criteria. Each country may define own preferences and criteria regarding on pack / online placement as well as the interpretative labeling system choice. Work to be done in collaboration with regulatory teams, public affairs, R&D, marketing and sales, etc.

The Health Star Rating (HSR) system is a Nutrient Profiling System that determines how healthy a product is. Products are rated between 0.5 stars (least healthy) to 5 stars (most healthy). According to this system, any product that scores 3.5 or above can be confidently promoted as a healthy choice. (source : health-star-rating-system.pdf (nsw.gov.au))
