Voluntary front of pack signpost labelling scheme for the UK

The Food Standards agency consulted on final proposals to introduce a voluntary front of pack food and drink labelling scheme in November 2005, requesting opinions from interested parties.

Cancer Research UK supports initiatives which enable people to make healthy choices more easily and seek to improve the balance of the national diet. We believe such efforts to be an important part of a holistic strategy to tackle increasing rates of obesity. Cancer Research UK therefore supports the development of a signpost labelling model, as we believe that this will be helpful to consumers.
