Are all starred foods within each rating level (e.g., all 3-star foods) equally nutritious across the store?
Not necessarily. Every food group has a unique combination of attributes. A healthy diet includes a variety of foods across categories. You may notice that some categories have more choices with stars than others. Some food categories may have few or no foods with stars because these foods do not meet the criteria. As you go through each aisle of the store, the Guiding Stars system can help you identify more nutritious options within that section.
