The smiple rating scale makes sense. I wonder what her power bar would get?
Most of the time it would be good to know.

I hadn't seen this rating before (even in CZ) so am unsure why/how/where it started. It's hard to believe that the company, itself, implemented it. After all, it would seem counterproductive marketing. "Beware, this candy is horrible for you!" I looked at the label and the only countries mentioned were Czech Republic and Slovak Republic, but the brand is Danone which is present throughout Europe, based in Paris, France, but founded in Barcelona, Spain. Some of the company's products are branded in the US under the name Dannon (like yogurts), but I'm assuming this nutrition rating system might be either country specific or maybe EU? But again, it's the first I've seen it.
