Understanding Food Choices in Saudi Arabia

These labels were implemented in Chile in 2016. They are shown on those less-healthy food and beverage products that do not fall within thresholds that are defined for the following nutrients: sugar, sodium, calories and saturated fats. The original labels are in Spanish but the ones that we displayed were in Arabic.

These labels were implemented by the French government in 2017. They are shown on all food and beverage products and range from A to E with the corresponding colours moving from Green to Red (symbolizing best to worst). The scores and grades are calculated based on 7 different nutrients grouped into 2 categories i.e. nutrients to consume (such as fibre) and nutrients to avoid (such as sugar). We modified the labels by adding % sugar per serving on the right side of the labels.
