Health and Wellbeing publications

The aim of our FDF's Health and Wellbeing Steering Group is to work constructively with Government, regulators and others to help find solutions to the complex issues at the heart of the diet and health challenge here in the UK.

Key areas of work identified by the Steering Group this year include: positioning FDF members as proactive partners for engagement and future work with Government (including devolved countries), robustly showcasing the progressive actions of FDF members to key stakeholders enabling consumers to lead healthier lives and delivering on a range of collaborative industry-wide projects, including reformulation of products in support of public health goals and promoting best practice in workplace wellbeing.
