Rice and pasta must have a whole grain as the first ingredient to rank green; most other rice and pasta products are ranked Yellow.

Meat/fish/poultry rankings are usually determined by saturated fat levels. The thresholds are <= 2 g for green; <= 5 for Yellow and >= 5·5 for Red.

100 % juice is ranked yellow; if there is added sugar it is ranked Red.

§

Canned or frozen fruit rankings are usually determined by sugar levels. The thresholds are <= 12 g for green; 13–22 g for Yellow and > 23 for Red.

Dairy is ranked Red if it has any of the following: > 3·5 g of saturated fat, > 200 mg Na or > 23 g of sugar.

Cereal is ranked Red if it has any of the following: > 2·5 g of saturated fat, > 401 mg Na or > 13 g of sugar.
