Food

Food is more than a label.

From breakfast cereals to snacks and drinks, packaged food can contain a lot of information. Sláinte helps you understand it faster.

Explore food categories, learn how to read nutrition information, and compare products using the Sláinte Score.

What Sláinte looks at

The factors that matter depend on the product category.

Sláinte can consider relevant nutrition information, ingredient characteristics and other product data defined by the Sláinte methodology.

Food is not a binary choice

A product does not need to be perfect to have a place in your diet.

Nutrition is about overall dietary patterns, not one isolated food.

European food based dietary guidance generally emphasises variety and nutrient dense foods while limiting excessive intake of foods high in saturated fat, sugars and salt.

Sláinte's role is to make packaged food information easier to understand within that broader context.
