NuVal, LLC is a rapidly expanding “start-up” company formed in 2008 to bring the NuVal Nutritional Scoring System to market. It is the joint venture of Topco Associates, LLC, and Griffin Hospital, a non-profit community hospital affiliated with Yale University in Connecticut.
The NuVal Nutritional Scoring System uses a proprietary algorithmic formula to score nutritional value of foods on a scale of 1 to 100, weighing some 30 different nutrient factors; the higher the score, the higher the nutritional value. Based on the Overall Nutritional Quality Index, (ONQI), the system was developed over a 2 year period by a panel of 12 medical and nutritional experts from leading North American Universities and health organizations, led by Dr. David L. Katz, M.D., Associate Professor, Adjunct, of public health at Yale University School of Medicine and a nationally recognized authority of nutrition weight control and the prevention of chronic disease.
