Preparing for the future of the Health Star Rating (HSR) System

Supermarket home brands could be key to lowering salt intakes in Australia

The George Institute, supported by a coalition of public health and consumer representatives, has written to Australian and New Zealand Food Ministers to express our support for their steps towards mandating the display of the Health Star Rating (HSR) system. Voluntary uptake has stalled after a decade of implementation, and the HSR system must be mandated and strengthened to retain consumer trust and achieve its public health goals.
