Abu Dhabi Introduces Nutri-Mark Label to Guide Healthier Grocery Choices
Ashwini Gambo
Abu Dhabi has launched the Nutri-Mark food labelling system as part of its Healthy Living Programme, aiming to make healthier food choices simpler and more accessible for residents. The initiative is supported by the Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Public Health Centre.
Nutri-Mark features a clear A–E grading scale that allows shoppers to easily compare food products within the same category. The system is designed to provide quick, at-a-glance guidance, helping consumers make more informed dietary decisions without the need for detailed nutritional analysis.
By simplifying how nutritional value is communicated on food packaging, the programme seeks to encourage healthier eating habits and greater awareness of food quality across the community.
Officials said the initiative represents a shared commitment to strengthening public health outcomes and promoting sustainable, healthy lifestyles throughout Abu Dhabi, reinforcing broader efforts to support community wellbeing.
