Grapes and some varieties of pretzels earn 2 stars since they are rated using the same set of criteria. General food groups or food categories, such as cereals or soups, for example, have unique combinations of attributes, and the Guiding Stars program facilitates comparisons within the same general group. It is not designed for comparing foods across categories, such as comparing a serving of grapes to a serving of pretzels. The pretzels that earn stars typically have less added sodium and more vitamins, minerals and fiber.
