Shops Standardise Food Labels

The video discusses the confusion surrounding current food labels, which vary by supplier and supermarket. To address this, the Department of Health plans to introduce a standardized labeling system across all supermarkets. This new system will use a hybrid approach, including guideline daily amounts and a traffic light color code to indicate levels of fat, salt, sugar, and calories. While supermarkets have agreed to this plan, consumer reactions are mixed, with some appreciating the clarity and others concerned about reduced choice. The new labels are expected to be implemented by next summer.
