This page provides a comprehensive guide for food and beverage operators including; retailers, suppliers, distributors, importers and manufacturers, on the Nutri-Mark and its labelling requirements for food and beverage products. Consumers can download the TAMM App (Apple Android) and start using the Nutri-Mark Camera widget to discover the Nutri-mark Grade of products
The Nutri-Mark is a summary front-of-pack nutritional label that provides overall nutritional assessment of a product based on its nutrient composition in simplified form that complements the mandatory back-of pack nutritional declaration.
The Nutri-mark is designed to:
- Provide simple, transparent nutrition information at the point of purchase
- Support informed food choices by consumers
- Encourage product reformulation towards healthier compositions
- Align food and beverages in the UAE with international best practice in nutrition labelling
The purpose of the Nutri-Mark is to help the consumer better see, interpret and understand the nutritional value of products. The objective of the Nutri-Mark is not to separate 'good' foods from 'bad' foods, but rather to use the 5 classes to distinguish foods and beverages in the same product category that are healthier from those that are less healthy from a nutritional point of view. This also helps food producers to decide how to reformulate their products so they can move to a higher Nurti-mark rating
