Policy brief: Front-of-package warning labels give consumers the freedom to choose healthy

GHAI, Resolve to Save Lives

Apr 30, 2025

This policy brief developed by Global Health Advocacy Incubator and Resolve to Save Lives highlights the critical role of mandatory front-of-package warning labeling (FOPL or FOPWL) in combating diet-related noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and obesity and saving millions in health care costs. 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.
