More information, less work. The NuVal Nutritional Scoring System is a food scoring system that helps you see at a glance the nutritional value of the foods you buy. The NuVal System rates all foods and beverages on a scale of 1 to 100. The higher the NuVal Score, the better the overall nutrition. Scores are displayed directly on shelf tags, scale labels, and other signage throughout the store so you can make quick and easy nutritional comparisons between foods.

We do the science so you don't have to.

NuVal Scores incorporate information from the nutrition fact panel and more. The Score considers more than 30 nutrients and nutrition factors, like carbohydrates, proteins and fat, as well as the quality of the nutrients. The not-so-good stuff? We look at those too: trans fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sugar and sodium. The net result is one number from 1-100: the higher the number, the better the nutrition. That's the NuVal Score.

Information you can trust.

Who's behind the NuVal™ Scores? An independent panel of nutrition and medical experts from leading universities and health organizations led by Dr. David Katz of the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center. Who doesn't have a say in NuVal Scores? Food and beverage manufacturers and special interest groups. Your supermarket offers NuVal Scores to make your shopping experience better, but they do not influence the Scores in any way.

Better nutrition in the real world.

Navigating all of the nutritional information in a grocery store can be pretty complicated. That's why NuVal™ Scores are on all kinds of foods, from apples to cookies, from yogurt to noodles to tuna. The NuVal Score helps improve you and your family's overall nutrition with the foods they already eat. Look for NuVal Scores on shelf tags throughout the store.
