Using the table
Nutrients are based on information on the label. Traffic light criteria are based on the latest nutrition recommendations and dietary guidelines established by government health experts in Australia and internationally. Fat (g/100g) green ≤3, orange 3.1-19.9, red ≥20. Saturated fat (g/100g) green ≤1.5, orange 1.6-4.9, red ≥5. Sodium (mg/100g) green ≤120, orange 121-599, red ≥600. Sugars (g/100g) green ≤5, orange 5.1-14.9, red ≥15.
Prices are based on our price survey of the listed products carried out in Sydney supermarkets on the same day in August 2010. Non-special prices of the same or closest pack sizes were recorded, but as pack sizes can vary we’ve shown the price per 100g for comparison purposes.
Table notes
* Based on responses to the question, “Of the products you have tasted, which would you be most likely to buy?”
(A) The premium brand in the category.
(B) Nutritional information is per 100g cooked. All other pasta is based on dry weight.
How we test
Nutritional analysis We record the energy, total fat, saturated fat, sodium and sugar content of each product, which is taken from the nutritional information panel.
Taste test CHOICE sent out a request to members to take part in an in-house taste test. We were inundated with expressions of interest and selected 30 members to come to CHOICE and be part of our taste test panel. All up, our taste panellists tasted 26 samples of ham, biscuits, cheese, canned peaches and baked beans. The taste test was a great success and CHOICE is keen to continue getting members involved. The remaining products (canned tuna, ice-cream, cornflakes, penne pasta and pasta sauce) were tasted by a panel of 30 CHOICE staff members.
We select the premium brands based on which has the greatest market share according to Retail World’s 2009 Annual Report. Where necessary, foods are prepared according to packet instructions, then presented on plain plates with no brand identification. Panellists consider the overall taste of each product and give it an overall rating based on which one they would be most likely to purchase.
