The Keyhole helps to choose healthy food in the Nordic countries

Trying to decipher the often cryptic description of contents on food packets can be really tricky abroad. It has become much easier in the Nordic countries. Healthy quality products are labelled with the Keyhole now.

From now on dairy products, fish, meat and vegetables etc. can be labelled with the Keyhole. It shows that the products are low in fat, salt and sugar.

The keyhole has been around in Sweden for 20 years. The label has now been introduced in Denmark and Norway. Iceland may join the scheme later but Finland already has a similar label, the 'Heart'.
