Hi Aussies.
I am new to your fantastic country. I have a question though. Whats the deal with the star rating system on your food products. At first I thought it was awesome that you could take a quick look and know if something was good for you or not.... Seems simple and effective way to help people learn what's good for them.
My wife and I decided on a recent health binge that we would only consume foods that received a 4 star or higher assuming that this would mean everything we ate would be good for us.
Then I looked at the breakfast cereal I was eating which has a 4.5 star review
Yes that's correct the cereal that received a 4.5 star review has 23% sugar.
How is this possible??
Maybe I am missing something but I would expect a VERY low sugar content on something receiving such a high mark.
Love to know your thoughts.... Drop them in the comments
