Dr. David Katz discusses the NuVal Nutrtional Scoring System.

Fact panels, package labels, nutrition reports.ÿ There has to be a better way to make decisions about the foods you eat.ÿ Now there is: the NuVal Nutritional Scoring System.

The NuVal System does the nutritional heavy lifting so you don?t have to.ÿ Developed by an independent panel of nutrition and medical experts, the System helps you see ?at a glance? the nutritional value of the food you buy.

How? The NuVal System scores food on a scale of 1-100. The higher the NuVal Score, the better the nutrition. It?s that simple. And it?s coming to every aisle of your favorite grocery stores right there on the shelf tag.ÿ Now you can compare overall nutrition the same way you compare price. You can even compare apples and oranges.

NuVal LLC is dedicated to making good nutrition easy by providing comprehensive nutritional information in a single number.ÿ NuVal LLC is a joint venture formed in 2008 by Topco Associates, LLC, and Griffin Hospital of Derby, Connecticut, a non-profit community hospital and home to the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center. Located in Braintree, MA, NuVal licenses its proprietary food scoring system, which is based on ONQI TM (Overall Nutrition Quality Index) science, to food retailers across the country.
