Traffic light labels

The Nutrition Program creates a traffic light label for your recipes which show whether a food has a high (red), medium (amber) or low (green) level of fat, saturated fat, salt and sugar. They make it easy to compare foods and see which is healthier. If you choose a food that is high in fat one day, you can balance it with one that is low another. Most supermarkets are using this system of labelling to help their customers make healthy choices.
