Warning labels empower consumers with easy-to-understand nutrition information to help them steer clear of foods high in sugar, sodium, and saturated fats and drives industry to reformulate ultra-processed products.
Backed by global evidence and best practices, the brief calls on governments to adopt front-of-package warning labels as a cost-effective, impactful policy to improve public health and save lives.
Use this brief to learn how to adopt FOPL polices and implement nutrient profile models – the foundation for FOPLs that work.
