Nutrition By The Numbers

Test your knowledge.

The NuVal™ Nutritional Scoring System helps you cut through confusing nutrition information so you can make decisions about food quickly and easily – and feel good about your choices. 

 

Should you buy wheat or oatmeal bread? Are pretzels more nutritious than tortilla chips? These are the decisions that NuVal™ scores can help you make – in seconds – as you’re walking down the supermarket aisle.

 

A Different Approach to Nutrition

We realize other nutrition ranking systems are being promoted in the marketplace, and we believe it is important for you to understand how the NuVal™ System differs.

 

Simple – The NuVal™ System provides comprehensive nutritional information in one simple number between 1 and 100.

  • Inclusive – NuVal™ Scores cover all kinds of food – from apples to chips and store brands to national brands – not just products from specific manufacturers.
  • Convenient – NuVal™ Scores are right where you shop – on shelf tags throughout the store – so you can compare overall nutrition the way you compare price.
  • Objective – The NuVal™ System was developed independently by a team of nutrition and medical experts and funded by Griffin Hospital. No retailers or manufactures were involved.
  • Value-focused –  NuVal™ Scores help you get the most nutrition for your money by allowing you to compare price and nutrition – side-by-side on the same tag.
