We are surrounded by an endless array of food choices and targeted with marketing designed to influence those choices.
When shopping, we may stick with the same products we’re familiar with or try others we’ve heard about through friends or advertising. Other times the information on the front of a label can influence our decisions.
There is information already required on food labels to show us what’s in the food but most of us don’t have the time to stop and read all that fine print on the back of the pack.
The Health Star Rating is a simple system on the front of the pack designed to help us compare products without spending time reading the whole pack.

In a bid to help people improve their diets, the agency has launched a free Junk Food Analyser quiz, a tool Queensland mum Carly Reily said would have motivated her to change her diet sooner. The 41-year-old teacher from Yandina lost more than 22kg, which was 26 per cent of her body weight, since she began following the CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet in June last year.
