TEXTO:
Traffic light-coded food labels indicating how much
fat, salt and sugar an item contains are to appear on
most food that is eaten in Britain in a move hailed by
health campaigners as ending shoppers’ confusion over
[5] what to buy.
All the main supermarket chains and some of the
biggest producers of snack food, such as PepsiCo and
Nestlé, have agreed with ministers to use front-of-pack
nutritional labels colored red, amber or green on some
[10] or all of their products in an effort to make it easier for
consumers to choose healthier options.
The traffic-light labels, which many food
campaigners and medical organizations have long called
for, will be part of a new hybrid nutritional labeling scheme
[15] that combines them with guideline daily amounts (GDAs),
which doctors have criticized as deceptive and utterly
baffling to most consumers.
The new labels are intended to help shoppers know
at a glance whether a product contains a low (green),
[20] medium (amber) or high (red) amount of fat, saturated
fat, salt, sugar and calories. The labels are not designed
to demonize foods with lots of reds but to have people
consider what they are eating and make sure it’s part of
a balanced diet. “Businesses that have signed up to using
[25] the new label today already account for more than 60%
of the food that is sold in the UK,” a spokesman added.
The UK public health minister, Anna Soubry, said
shoppers were confused by existing food labels:
“Research shows that, of all the current schemes, people
[30] like this [hybrid] label the most and can use the
information to make healthier choices.”
