UPDATES TO THE HEALTH STAR RATING SYSTEM
The Government has implemented an update to the Health Star Rating (HSR) system as a result of their five year review. This update has been applied to the GlutenSwitch App.
A two year transition period for the implementation of the updates for manufacturers will apply, with all changes to be fully implemented by 14 November 2022.
During this time you may notice discrepancies between the HSR on pack and the HSR displayed in the GlutenSwitch App. This should resolve itself as manufacturers start to update their packaging.

If you believe there to be an error with the product information presented in the app, please use the “report an issue” function in the app or send us an email at foodswitch@georeginstitute.org.au
