Whole Grain Stamp
Whole Grain Stamp[edit | edit source]
The Whole Grain Stamp is a packaging symbol that helps consumers identify and purchase products made from whole grains. It was introduced by the Whole Grains Council in 2005 and has since become a trusted symbol for consumers seeking whole grain products.
Overview[edit | edit source]
The Whole Grain Stamp is a yellow and black packaging symbol that indicates the amount of whole grains in a product. There are three different versions of the stamp: the 100% Stamp, the 50%+ Stamp, and the Basic Stamp. Each version represents a different level of whole grain content.
Whole Grains Council[edit | edit source]
The Whole Grains Council is a nonprofit consumer advocacy group that promotes the consumption of whole grains for better health. The council introduced the Whole Grain Stamp in 2005 as a way to help consumers identify products made from whole grains.
Types of Stamps[edit | edit source]
100% Stamp[edit | edit source]
The 100% Stamp indicates that all of the grain in the product is whole grain. The product must contain at least 16 grams of whole grain per serving to qualify for this stamp.
50%+ Stamp[edit | edit source]
The 50%+ Stamp indicates that at least half of the grain in the product is whole grain. The product must contain at least 8 grams of whole grain per serving to qualify for this stamp.
Basic Stamp[edit | edit source]
The Basic Stamp indicates that the product contains at least one serving of whole grain, but less than half of the grain in the product is whole grain. The product must contain at least 8 grams of whole grain per serving to qualify for this stamp.
Benefits of Whole Grains[edit | edit source]
Whole grains are a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They can help reduce the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. The Whole Grain Stamp makes it easier for consumers to identify and purchase products made from whole grains.
