Health Star Rating Warning - experts sound the alarm over making current system mandatory.

CLIENT: Mandy Sacher.

OUTLET: Sunrise and 7 News.

If you’re doing the weekly shop this morning, don’t be fooled by the shiny stars on so-called “healthy” products. Under Australia’s current Health Star Rating system, everyday foods are still scoring top marks even when they’re loaded with unhealthy, and in some cases dangerous, additives. Despite expert concerns, the government now plans to make the system mandatory across all products.

Paediatric Nutritionist and DL COMMS client Mandy Sacher is leading the charge for change. She has launched a Change.org petition calling on Australians to demand a fairer, more transparent system that truly protects consumers. Her message is already making waves. Featured on 7 News National and Sunrise, Mandy exposed the shocking unhealthy truths hiding behind highly rated wraps and other “healthy” foods on Aussie shelves.
