NZ: Vrijwillig sterren-etiketteringssysteem wordt geïmplementeerd

New Zealand’s Minister of Food Safety has announced that the government will join Australia’s voluntary front of pack star rating labelling system. This rating system has a range from ½ to 5 stars and is supposed to help consumers make healthy food choices.
The number of stars, calculated by an algorithm, correspond to the product’s overall nutritional value. More stars indicate a better nutritional value. Based on consumer research it is proven that the overall nutritional rating will allow shoppers to compare and choose healthier products from within a range, encouraging companies to change their products to be healthier (Foodsafety NZ Nieuwsbericht, 27 juni 2014).
