Are there plans to rate the remaining unrated categories of edible items in the store?
With the addition of ratings for fats and oils all food categories providing a sufficiently dense source of nutrients are now rated. Guiding Stars ratings are based on a 100 calories. It measures an items nutrient density, or nutrition per 100 calories to provide a fair way to evaluate different foods with different serving sizes. Categories such as water, coffee and tea, and spices are not sufficiently dense with nutrients for the ratings to be applied in a helpful manner so they will not be rated. Of course water is necessary for life but there is nothing in the other items that has been shown to be either necessary or harmful so a guidance system is not really needed. Medically prescribed foods or dietary supplements are also not going to be rated. The stars are no replacement for working with your doctor.
