About the data

The Access to Nutrition Index (ATNI) is founded on the premise that Food & Beverage manufacturers can make a strong contribution to addressing poor nutrition and related diseases. The ATNI assesses and ranks the world’s largest manufacturers based on their nutrition-related commitments, practices and performance globally.

This metric considers how well the labels on products provide accurate, comprehensive and readily understandable information about the nutritional composition and potential health benefits of what they eat.

The assessment is divided into two criteria:

F1 Product labeling

F2 Health and nutrition claims

To perform well in this Category, companies should (in addition to observing national standards where they exist):

  • Adopt and publish a global policy on labeling that: 1) commits to including all key nutrients on back-ofpack labels (energy, protein, total carbohydrates, total or added/free sugars, trans fat, total fat, saturated fat, dietary fiber, sodium (or salt); 2) presents this information as a percentage of guideline daily amounts or daily values; 3) provides the information appropriately for single and multiple portions; 4) commits to providing nutritional information on the front of packs in an interpretive format; and 5) commits to label the micronutrient content of all products sold in developing countries fortified with or naturally high in micronutrients.
  • Have already rolled out, or plan to roll out, these labels across all markets and report on progress.
  • Provide nutritional information online for all products in all markets in order to enhance consumers’ access to information about what they are eating.
  • Adopt and publish a global policy on the use of both health and nutrition claims that states, in countries where no national regulatory system exists, these claims will only be placed on products if they are in full compliance with the relevant Codex standard.
