To ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment she has made of the impact of the Food Standards Agency's colour-coded food labelling recommendations on consumer behaviour.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has made a commitment to independently evaluate front of pack nutrition signpost labelling schemes in operation in the United Kingdom and their effect on consumer behaviour and understanding. A study will be commissioned later this year to carry out a comparative evaluation of the three main front of pack labelling approaches currently in use in the UK marketplace, including the FSA's recommended colour coded scheme.
