Food Labelling (Nutrition and Health) Bill
[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to
This bill would require food manufacturers to provide clearer, standardized nutrition information on food packaging and restrict health claims made on food labels. It aims to help UK consumers make more informed dietary choices by making calorie, fat, sugar, and salt content more visible and consistent across all products. The bill also establishes rules about which health claims (such as 'low fat' or 'heart healthy') manufacturers can legally make, requiring them to be backed by scientific evidence. These measures are designed to address obesity, dietrelated diseases, and misleading marketing in the food industry.
Presented by Helen Southworth.
