WHO backs front-of-pack nutrition labelling for healthier choices
Original: Helping consumers make healthier choices with front-of-pack nutrition labelling
The World Health Organization is promoting front-of-pack nutrition labelling as a way to help consumers make healthier food choices. The guidance encourages clear, simplified labels on the front of packaging so shoppers can quickly assess nutritional value. Health advocates see such labelling as a key tool against obesity and diet-related disease, though food industry responses to mandatory schemes have often been contested.
Why now: The WHO has issued new guidance on front-of-pack nutrition labelling, drawing attention to food labelling policy debates.
