I suppose there must be people out there who rely on this system to tell them how "healthy" food is, but I've certainly never met them. I feel like most people base their opinions off the name and packaging ("it has X, it must be healthy!!!!"), the ingredients list and nutritional information table, or simply don't care at all.

Ever since taking up a low-carb/keto diet back in like ‘18, I’ve defaulted to just checking the nutrition panels on anything pre-packaged and make my judgements based on Sugar, Protein and Sodium content (both per serve, and per 100g).

I have never found these ratings accurate, let alone useful.
