Health Star Rating System home page

The more stars, the healthier.

Health Star Ratings are a quick and easy way to compare the nutritional profile of similar packaged foods. 

The Health Star Ratings range from ½ a star to 5 stars. The more stars, the healthier the choice.

Health Star Ratings are calculated using strict guidelines. Food manufacturers are responsible for correctly calculating and displaying the rating on the front of packaged foods.

You should compare similar products when using the Health Star Rating system. For example, you can compare a yoghurt to another yoghurt, but you cannot compare a yoghurt to a bag of chips.
