一个全面的早餐谷物样本（市场上共有221种早餐谷物）根据其营养成分进行比较，使用三种营养分析系统进行分析，将食物分为“健康”或“不太健康”。对差异进行了进一步调查，重点是标签上营养和健康声明的使用。调查的目的，是要确定使用这类声称在多大程度上符合“较健康”或“较不健康”的类别。样本包括161件（72.9%）附有声称的物品，以及60件（27.1%）没有声称的物品。食物的营养成分由英国Ofcom模型、FSANZ模型和修正的交通灯模型确定。所有模型都使用类似但不同的方法来确定“更健康”或“不太健康”的最终得分。被归类为“更健康”的食品的百分比远低于72.9%（从24.8%到52.2%），这表明与允许携带营养和/或健康声明相比，每种模式的profi ling涉及更严格的食品分类标准。这种差异对于修改后的交通灯系统最为明显，而英国Ofcom和FSANZ系统给出的结果更接近于使用声明。
A comprehensive sample of breakfast cereals (a total of 221 breakfast cereals available in the market) were compared according to their nutritional composition, being analysed using three nutrient profiling systems to categorise foods as "healthier" or "less healthy". Differences were further on investigated focusing on the use of nutrition and health claims on the labelling. The aim was to determine how much the use of such a claim corresponds to the categorisation into "healthier" or "less healthy" group.The sample contained 161 (72.9%) items with claims and 60 (27.1%) items, without claims. The nutrient profiles of the foods were determined by the UK Ofcom model, the FSANZ model and the modified Traffic Light model. All the models use similar but nevertheless different ways of determining the final score of "healthier" or "less healthy". The percentage of foods classified as "healthier" was well below 72.9% (from 24.8% to 52.2%), indicating that profi ling with each model involves stricter criteria for the classifying of foods compared to the permission to carry a nutrition and/or health claim. The difference is the most pronounced for the modified Traffic Light system, while the UK Ofcom and FSANZ systems give results closer to the use of claims.
