Loblaw is the first Canadian grocery retailer to use Guiding Stars, a system developed by US chains owned by Belgium-based retailer Delhaize.
One, two or three stars are put on shelf tags depending on whether products meet fixed nutritional guidelines.
If a product’s shelf tag has no stars, it either has not met the scheme’s nutritional criteria, it has yet to be rated or, for low-calorie products like bottled water or dried spices, it is not rated by the system.
