How do Front of pack ‘traffic light’ labels impact your nutritional health?
How often do you look at the ‘traffic-light label’ (FOPTL) on the packaging—and does it influence your choices? How helpful do you think the FOPTL label is when individual items—such as a sandwich, snack, or drink—are combined into a meal? Using examples from popular retailers such as Costa Coffee and M&S, I’ll highlight how everyday choices can quickly lead to higher intakes of foods high in fat, salt, and sugar.
