A Healthy Choice Product Guide

We are extremely excited to announce that we have relaunched our ‘A Healthy Choice’ programme in-store. This programme’s aim is to help simplify your shopping experience, so you can make wiser food choices when you shop with us at Barossa Fresh!

The Healthy Choice guide has been developed by local dietician Suzannah Smart founder of Smart Dietetics to help customers easily identify items that are a ‘healthy choice’ based on the following standards or are a better option than other alternatives in their category.

Look out for the “A Healthy Choice’ shelf wobblers in-store and start making your health a priority today!

 

Products are considered according to the following standards:

**indicates items that are better options than the alternatives, but not necessarily 100% nourishing/healthy foods eg. healthier ice block options that contain artificial sweeteners, or frozen pizza that meets the above criteria but should not be considered a balanced meal.

Exceptions to the above will be made using our professional judgement of a product depending on its ingredients e.g. a product made from 100% natural almonds will exceed the fat content however it is a healthy, whole food.

The ingredients list has also been assessed, giving preference within each category to choose products with minimal artificial additives and minimal processed, whole food ingredients.

Companies can change the ingredients of their products without notifying consumers, therefore it should be made known that products were chosen given information available at the time of assessment.

There may also be other suitable healthy products not on this list however given it is a time-consuming task to assess every product available, we have limited it to a set number of products as examples of healthy choices within a variety of food groups.

We welcome feedback! If there is a product that is not on our list that you think should be, or if you think we’ve made a mistake by including an item / the nutritional information may have changed, please get in touch by emailing hello@smartdietetics.com.au.

 

Here is the list of products that have the ‘A Healthy Choice’ shelf wobbler associated with it in-store.
