Hannaford Brothers chain in New England are reported to have come up with a star 1-3 nutritional rating system that claims to break the myths concerning food opinionated as ‘good’ by the consumers.
Facts provided by MSNBC points that out of 27,000 food products 77 percent of the food products that claimed healthy, failed to get even a single star for the reason of being processed with the highest amount of sodium, sugar or fat. The foods with star rating obviously went to fruits, vegetables, seafood and cereals.
Doubtless of the fact that the chain does not reveal the criteria of judging nutrition in foods and claims to be stricter than the FDA, but it can be reliable for the very reason that most of the foods of Hannaford could not stand up to the criteria set for getting a star rating.
Scheduled to make a debut this September the rating system might be promising for whole and organic foods, making consumers aware of the foods that they buy, based on the often confusing or fake labeling system.
