Abu Dhabi launches Nutri-Mark QR code food labels with A–E nutrition grades
The Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council (QCC) has introduced Nutri-Mark, a front-of-pack nutrition labeling system that assigns products grades A to E based on nutritional value, accessible via QR code scanning. The system applies to participating retail chains and is integrated into the TAMM application, though it is currently voluntary.

Nutri-Mark classifies products based on fat, salt, fiber content, ingredients, and overall nutritional value. The initiative is a collaboration between QCC and the Abu Dhabi Public Health Centre (ADPHC) and follows agreements with four major retail chains. Although not yet mandatory, several international manufacturers have already modified products after receiving Nutri-Mark evaluations. The Council plans regular random inspections to verify nutritional classifications. International experience shows similar systems achieve at least 10% improvement in nutritional quality of consumer-selected products.
