Introduction to Low GI Food Certification

Low GI foods refer to products containing digestible carbohydrates with a glycemic index (GI) below 55. Using the glycemic index to reasonably arrange diets is highly beneficial for blood sugar control. Therefore, low GI foods are increasingly favored by consumers seeking to manage blood sugar and body weight.

Food GI classification is as follows:

Low GI foods: Glycemic index (GI) ≤55;

Medium GI foods: Glycemic index (GI) 56~69;

High GI foods: Glycemic index (GI) 70~100;

Low GI food certification can guide consumers to select products that help regulate blood sugar and control weight based on their needs when shopping.

Low GI food certification is conducted by third-party organizations.
