PRESS RELEASE
In response to the Government announcement on the obesity framework, FDF
Director of Communications Terry Jones said:
“We are pleased to see the Government taking a holistic approach to tackling the
complex problem of obesity. The framework's clear focus and defined roles for a
wide range of players including government, individuals, businesses and the
health service at both a national and local level recognises that this is
everybody's business."
“Food manufacturers have a great track record of positive contributions to
improving public health including clear labelling and reformulation of
products, to
help consumers make healthy choices. Following the announcement today, we are
committed to continuing to work in partnership with the Department of Health
and
others through the Public Health Responsibility Deal to play our part in
supporting people to achieve an appropriate calorie intake and a healthy
lifestyle.”
