Proposed terminology for use when discussing different food labeling schemes
\nLabeling scheme = Type of labeling<\/p>\n
A labeling scheme can be specified using the following aspects
\nSteps on scale = Points on scale = fine-grained scale
\nA labeling scheme can be 2 steps (on or off like a checkmark), 3-steps (like LOW, MED and HIGH on a Traffic Light), indefinite (a continuous scale, in practice it could be a 100 step scale) or another number of steps. Number of steps contributes to the complexity of a labeling scheme.<\/p>\n
Number of dimensions<\/p>\n
A labeling scheme can display one or more dimensions, where a dimension could be \u201coverall healthy ness\u201d (like a checkmark) or the content of calories and different nutrients. A GDA label often has 5 dimensions: (1. Cal, 2. Sugars, 3. Fat, 4. Sat fat and 5. Salt). A GDA label can also show also only one dimension (Calories on a soda).<\/p>\n
Interpretive element<\/p>\n
This interpretive element can also be called \u2018judgmental\u2019 or the \u2018guiding\/helpful\u2019 element. The interpretive element can be in the form of WORDS (Poor, Low, Mediun, High or Super), colors (red, amber, green) or a percent (like the %GDA). The nature of the interpretive element can be \u201cThreshold(s)\u201d or \u201cScoring\/Scale\u201d.<\/p>\n
Reference unit<\/p>\n
It could be \u201c100 g\/ 100 ml\u201d, \u201c100 kcal\u201d or some \u201cservings\u201d<\/p>\n
Reference values<\/p>\n
Some labeling schemes are based on a set of intake \u2018labeling reference intake values\u2019.<\/p>\n
Communication means<\/p>\n
It can be any colors, numbers, text or symbols, or any combination hereof.<\/p>\n
Complexity<\/p>\n
This covers a function og the following dimensions: xxx, xxx<\/p>\n
