Green 'means eat'

Colour-coded logo offers at-a-glance nutritional guide

Published Modified

A NEW five-colour, A-E, logo has been brought in to show nutritional information on foods, with A being for the best nutritional quality.

It gives an overall view of calories, fats, sugars, proteins, fibre and salt in 100g or 100ml of a product.

Each was scored and the total gives the rating which is intended for all pre-packed foods, although it is not mandatory.
