FFHS food rating system now available on food manufacturer boxes

Foodfacts.com today announced that the Food Facts Health Score (FFHS) is now available on food manufacturer boxes, signaling a huge consumer advancement for the expanded use of the world's first food rating system of this type.

“There are a significant number of food manufacturers also coming on board.”

FFHS is the world's first rating system to reflect the quality of ingredients in foods, in addition to the traditional measures of protein, fat, fiber, vitamins and added sugar.

"We're very pleased that 1-2-3 Gluten Free, a prestigious distributor of quality, certified gluten-free foods, is participating with Foodfacts.com in implementing our unique rating system on their food packages," noted Stan Rak, President of www.foodfacts.com. "There are a significant number of food manufacturers also coming on board."

Foodfacts.com believes that the "FFHS on a Box" concept is a revolutionary step forward in consumer nutritional empowerment, expanding food consumer accessibility and awareness in a new and significant way. Previously, the unique FFHS rating system was only available to www.foodfacts.com members who enjoyed free membership while receiving objective nutritional information for better and healthier food choices. Now, FFHS on product boxes expands the use of this unique rating system.

How It Works

More comprehensive than Weight Watchers, the groundbreaking Food Facts Health Score system rates over 75,000 food products based on complete nutrition and ingredient value. FFHS is an innovative scoring system that evaluates foods based on multiple dimensions of nutrition and assigns those foods a numeric rating between 0 and 100 (zero being least nutritious and 100 being best). This system goes above and beyond current food rating programs, including the Weight Watchers Point System, by offering a more complete assessment of food nutrition and ingredients value across brands. The Food Facts Health Score helps users gauge not just calories and fiber, but product ingredients and vitamins that are essential building blocks for healthier food. FoodFacts.com is the only one in the world to do this.
