We've been named Australia's healthiest food manufacturer!

The latest George Institute FoodSwitch: State of the Food Supply report has found Simplot to be Australia’s number one food manufacturer based on “product healthiness”.

George Institute researchers use the Government-developed Health Star Rating (HSR) system criteria to assess over 25,000 packaged food and drinks being sold in supermarkets across Australia.

The FoodSwitch: State of the Food Supply report has been assessing the healthiness of Australia’s packaged food supply since 2018. It shows the healthiness of product portfolios across large food and beverage manufacturers and aims to acknowledge those who are performing well and encourage positive change towards a healthier food supply.

Using a variety of metrics including the Health Star Rating (HSR) nutrient profiling system and the Australian Dietary Guidelines’ classification of ‘Core’ and ‘Discretionary’ foods, the report explores changes in healthiness of Australia’s top 20 food and beverage manufacturers between 2021 and 2022.

At Simplot Australia we recognise the vital link between the foods we eat and overall health and wellbeing. That’s why we’re focused on continually improving the nutritional value of our products and increasing the overall average health star rating of our total product portfolio.
