They have that in England, or at least, a couple of the major supermarkets do. For the most part it's fairly common sense what's good and what's not, but I've had a couple of surprises with items high in sugar. Not sure how well this would go down in the US since they seem to have sugar and salt in a lot more foods and the lobbying groups might not be happy with having this so clearly pointed out.

It's a voluntary thing in the UK, though the government keeps talking about making it compulsory. I think the fats would just deliberately choose all the foods with the red lights!
