We’ve all experienced it. We stand before a shelf with a plethora of products, all promising us more vitamins, more Omega-3’s, more flax seed oil–more, more, more of everything! The problem is that with so much information coming at us simultaneously, it’s difficult to make snappy savvy food decisions. We start to read the nutrition labels, but before we know it, we’ve spent 5 minutes just trying to figure out what the labels all mean. If you’re like me, this scenario happens quite often. You want to do good by your and your family’s health, but the process is overwhelming at best.

Enter the NuVal Nutritional Scoring System. One company’s new nutritional scoring system aims to demystify food labels by using numbers. All food is scored between 1-100; the higher the score, the higher the nutrition. Easy to see and convenient, scores are displayed on the shelf-tag, next to the price. According to the company, using the system allows consumers to get more nutrition for their buck: products can be compared side-by-side to determine which one offers better value both in price and nutrition. This is great to determine if a name brand versus a store brand can of veggies is worth the extra money and measures up nutritionally.

Currently, NuVal is featured in more than 500 grocery stores across the country. For more information on how the system works, visit www.nuval.com
