The Health Star Rating System is a system rating food products, used in Australia and New-Zealand.
Where?
It was created and used in Australia and New-Zealand, in 2014. It does not appear to be of interest to other countries at this stage.
What?
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.
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.
There is recent discussion in Australia making mandatory HSR labelling on certain types of food, but as of yet, it is still a voluntary system.
An Excel-powered Health Star Rating Calculator is provided by the Department of Health.
The Health Star Rating System in Open Food Facts database
The HSRS is in the label taxonomy. We can identify 113 products as of 2020-09-17.
- 5,612 products as of 2024-08-15.
Issues with the HSRS in Open Food Facts
The first and only issue is to compute the HSRS in Open Food Facts.
The Keyhole detected by Robotoff
Here we can find two examples where Robotoff has detected the Keyhole logo:
Contributing to find products with the Keyhole
Using Open Food Facts website:
- Open the list of products having the HSRS label: https://world.openfoodfacts.org/label/health-star-rating
- Select a product, add its brands if not already done, and open the list of products from this brand; eg. https://world.openfoodfacts.org/brand/continental
- To find products from this brand without the HSRS, add /label/-health-star-rating at the end of the URL, eg. https://world.openfoodfacts.org/brand/continental/label/-health-star-rating
Using Hunger Games tool:
- Open the page corresponding to logo which could be HSRS 0.5: https://hunger.openfoodfacts.org/logos/deep-search?type=label&value=en%3Ahealth-star-rating-0-5
- Then annotate the ones which are annotated yet.
- And finally to HSRS 1.0, etc.
