Smartphone App to Rate Food With High Fat and Salt Content

A recent Smartphone application labeled the �traffic light food tracker' developed by the Obesity Policy Association will alert users with a traffic light rating for packaged foods that contain fat and salt.

A traffic light rating of �red' signifies �high', �yellow', signifies �medium' and �green' signifies �low' for the amount of salt, sugars and fat in packaged foods.

This is a good solution to misleading claims about fat free products.

This application helps consumers make quick and correct purchase decisions about a food product so that they can avoid products laden with fat, salt and sugar.
