Action on Sugar comment: Ten Minute Rule Motion on Food Labelling for Sugar Content
Published:
Action on Sugar very much welcomes the Ten Minute Rule Motion on Food Labelling for Sugar Content, being favoured by Keith Vaz MP on 14 May 2014 in the House of Commons.
Campaign Director for CASH and Action on Sugar, Katharine Jenner quoted, “The huge amount of sugar added to food and drinks gives us calories with no nutritional value. Setting limits for the amount of sugar in foods combined with clearer traffic light labelling is a great and practical idea to tackle obesity. The government must stop acting in the best interests of the food and drink industry rather than individuals, and take action on sugar now."
