This #WorldHealthDay2023, a message about why front of pack labels can save lives. As an epidemic of non communicable diseases sweep across the country, fuelled by unhealthy diets (among other reasons), we need labels that warn us of what we're actually consuming. Highly processed foods are high in sugar, salt and fat - and all of these ingredients are implicated in our rising deaths from preventable diseases.

Several countries around the world have managed to reduce their burden of NCD by using #WarningLabels on the front of packed foods. Packed foods are frequently high in undesirable nutrients. This #WorldFoodSafetyDay, we ask for warning labels that will let #consumers make safe, healthy choices about the foods that they eat.

Unhealthy diet is an easily preventable risk factor. Limit consumption of salt, sugar, saturated and trans fat as they increase the risk of  heart attack, stroke and hypertension. Packaged foods need front of pack labels warning consumers about high levels of these harmful substances. Consumers could then make healthier food choices. This World Food Safety Day, we demand FoPL regulations to be notified and executed effectively.
