The idea

What Is the DailyBasket Nutrition Matrix?

The Nutrition Matrix is a simple way of presenting key nutritional information so you can compare products more easily.

It brings important nutrition factors together in one place, helping you understand how a product compares across different nutritional dimensions.

Less guesswork. More information. Better-informed choices.

The factors

How the Nutrition Matrix Works

Each product is assessed across selected nutritional factors using the information available for that product. Depending on the product category, the matrix can consider factors such as:

01

Energy

Understand the amount of energy provided by the product.

02

Protein

See the product’s protein contribution.

03

Sugars

Understand the amount of sugars listed in the nutritional information.

04

Fibre

See how much dietary fibre the product provides.

05

Fat

Understand the total fat content.

06

Saturated Fat

Identify the amount of saturated fat.

07

Sodium

See the product’s sodium content.

08

Other Relevant Nutrients

Where appropriate, additional nutritional information may be considered based on the type of product.

No single verdict

A Product Can Be Good For One Need, But Not Another

Nutrition isn’t one-size-fits-all. A product with more protein may appeal to someone prioritising protein intake, while another person may be more interested in fibre, sugar or sodium.

That’s why the Nutrition Matrix isn’t designed to simply label foods as “good” or “bad.” It gives you information to help you decide.

The matrix does not rank your groceries. It shows you the same measures for every product so the differences are visible, and leaves the judgement where it belongs — with you.

Side by side

Compare Before You Choose

Shopping can become easier when you can compare products using consistent information. For example, when choosing between similar products, you may want to consider:

  • Which has more protein?
  • Which has less added sugar?
  • Which provides more fibre?
  • Which has less saturated fat?
  • Which fits my preferences better?

The Nutrition Matrix helps bring those considerations together.
