//The Government has announced a consistent system of food labelling, which is expected to be in place by summer 2013. The announcement follows a three-month consultation with food manufacturers, retailers and other interested parties – including Diabetes UK.
The hybrid labelling system includes traffic light colours (red, amber and green), text (high, medium or low) and percentage Guideline Daily Amounts (% GDAs). For more Info click the link below:
