Abstract:In order to promote the reasonable consumption of sausages and a healthy diet in China, and to guide enterprises in producing nutritious and healthy sausages, our study used the data on 16 kinds of sausages and their nutrients from China Food Composition Table (Volume 1, 2nd edition) to construct a nutrient-rich food (NRF9.3) model to evaluate the overall nutritional value, and it designed a front of package (FOP) labeling for summary indicator system and specific nutrient system respectively based on the experience of keyhole labeling in Sweden and that of multiple traffic light signpost labeling in Britain. It was found that 14 types of sausages showed NRF9.3 index score smaller than 0 except for children’s sausage and ham sausage, indicating that recommended nutrient levels per 100 kcal of these sausages were lower than the restricted nutrient levels and they had low nutritional value. The FOP labeling for summary indication system and specific nutrient system were both suitable for the 14 types of sausages. Accordingly, Chinese residents should limit sausages intake in daily life. It is advised that the red traffic light signal labeling be used to remind consumers of sausages with excessive fat and salt, and a single healthy choice labeling be applied to recommend consumers to buy sausages with NRF9.3 index score greater than 0.
