<p><strong>Brampton, ON</strong><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">Loblaw is slated to launch the Guiding Stars® program, a nutrition navigation program that provides nutritional ratings for foods found in grocery stores. Beginning August 10th, Loblaw customers in Ontario will have a faster, easier way to make healthy choices.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">Products are scored on a credit and debit system, where foods acquire stars for containing more vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, whole grains, and omega-3 fats and are debited for containing saturated fat, trans fat, added sodium, or added sugars. Alison Duncan, Professor, Human Health and Nutritional Sciences at the University of Guelphand and member of the scientific advisory panel for Guiding Stars®, states, “Guiding Stars® has strength in its consumer-friendly translation of current dietary recommendations that are based on science. This means that consumers can rely on the Guiding Stars® program to provide them with quick and accurate guidance about the nutritional quality of the food choices they are making.”<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">A special Guiding Stars® Dietitian Day will take place at select Loblaw stores in Ontario on Saturday August 11, from 10am to 2pm. Customers are invited to visit the store and receive hands on guidance from dietitians about the program.</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p><a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href="http://www.loblaw.ca/" target="_new"> Loblaw</a></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
