Abstract

NuVal scoring labeling that was based on overall nutritional quality index, adopted 1 to 100 to show the nutritional value of packaged food and fresh agricultural products. The higher was the score, the better was the nutritional status of food. The labeling was integrated with food prices to make it easier for consumers to compare the nutritional value of what they pay. Therefore, FOP labeling in China could be attempted to integrate nutrition evaluation information with food price, and promote in fresh agricultural products, and adjust its algorithm in accordance with the national nutritional needs.
