At Guiding Stars, we realize the supermarket can be a hectic place and decoding nutrition labels can be confusing... so we created a food rating system with easy-to-follow tags to help simplify your shopping process.

In grocery stores featuring the program, you can find Guiding Stars throughout the store-- in produce, packaged food aisles, seafood, dairy, the meat counter, and the bakery. You will also find Guiding Stars on shelf unit price tags for foods earning stars, and even on private label brand packaging.
