Lower fat, lower sugar, lower salt - helps prevent serious health problems and keeps the waistline trim!
A red badge means the product passes our criteria to be a healthier option. A grey badges means it does not. Choosing products which are lower in fat, saturated fat, sugar and salt helps reduce risk of serious health problems such as cardiovascular disease, cancers, heart disease, strokes, diabetes and obesity. We follow the UK government guidelines on nutrition content per 100g or look at amounts per serving if over 100g. Only products with no "reds" can be awarded the healthier option badge. All fruit and veg are classified as healthier options as they are a vital source of vitamins and minerals and should make up just over a third of the food we eat each day.
