Health Ratings Hiding The Truth - Consumers misled by brands food rating system.

CLIENT: Mandy Sacher

OUTLET: Weekend Sunrise

Australia’s leading paediatric nutritionist and Sydney mum, Mandy Sacher, has launched a major investigation into the government-backed Health Star Rating system — after uncovering how manufacturers are misleading consumers into thinking they’re choosing healthy options, when many products are actually ultra-processed.

In response, Mandy has introduced an independent front-of-pack labelling system called the Real Food Rating, designed to give Aussie families the full story about what they’re really buying. She joined the Weekend Sunrise team to share what parents should be looking out for in the supermarket, and how to keep nutrition front and centre.
