The Health Star Rating (HSR) system is a system that is designed to provide a quick and easy way for consumers to make healthier food choices by displaying a star rating on food products. It uses a star rating scale from 0.5 to 5 stars, with more stars indicating a healthier product. This rating takes into account various nutritional factors, including energy, saturated fat, total sugars, and sodium, and gives a balanced view of the product’s overall nutritional profile.
