Instructions Sheet TBL: Food Labelling Year 2

Steps involved in calculating the number of stars a product receives

STEP 1: Guess the number of stars you think your product may receive

STEP 2: Decide which food category your product belongs to from the following groups:

1 Beverage (not dairy)

1D Dairy beverage

3 Oils and spreads

3D Cheese, processed cheese with calcium >320mg/100g

2D Other dairy foods eg yoghurt, dairy dessert, low calcium cheese products

2 All other foods

STEP 3:

-Look at the Nutrition Information Panel and document the:

energy, saturated fat, sodium, sugar, protein and fibre per 100g/ 100mL

-Calculate the baseline points from table 1 or 2for energy, saturated fat, sodium and sugar

-Calculate the baseline points from table 4 for protein and fibre (we wont take into account any V points today)

Per 100g/100mL / Amount present / Baseline points / V points / Protein
points / Fibre points
Energy (kilojoules)
saturated fat (g)
total sugars (g)
sodium (mg)
protein (g)
fibre (g)
TOTAL

STEP 4Final HSR score =

TOTAL Baseline points

subtract (V points + P points+ F points)

STEP 5Calculate the Health Star Rating using Table 5

Example soft drink.

STEP 1: Guess the number of stars you think your product may receive:?????

STEP 2: Decide which food category your product belongs to:

1 Beverage (not dairy)

1D Dairy beverage

3 Oils and spreads

3D Cheese, processed cheese with calcium >320mg/100g

2D Other dairy foods eg yoghurt, dairy dessert, low calcium cheese products

2 All other foods

STEP 3:

-From the Nutrition Information Panel document the:

energy, saturated fat, sodium, sugar, protein and fibre per 100g/ 100mL

-Calculate the baseline points from table 1 or 2 for energy, saturated fat, sodium and sugar

-Calculate the baseline points from table 4 for protein and fibre

Per 100g/100mL / Amount present / Baseline points / V points / Protein
points / Fibre points
Energy (kilojoules) / 204 / 0
saturated fat (g) / 0 / 0
total sugars (g) / 11.5 / 2
sodium (mg) / 15 / 0
protein (g) / 0.2 / 0
fibre (g) / 0 / 0
TOTAL / 2

STEP 4 Final HSR score = Baseline points – (V points) – (P points) – (F points)

= 2 - 0 - 0 - 0

= 2

STEP 5 Calculate the Health Star Rating using Table 5 1 STAR
