The Traffic Light System

• GREEN foods and drinks are the best choices. They should be always available, displayed in prominent areas and actively promoted and encouraged.

• AMBER foods and drinks should be selected carefully. They contribute some valuable nutrients, but contain more saturated fat, sugar and/or salt than GREEN foods.

• RED foods and drinks do not contribute positively to the diet and should be limited.
