FSA draft recommendations on saturated fat and added sugar reductions, and on portion size availability, for biscuits, cakes, pastries and chocolate confectionery

On the 28th July 2009, the FSA issued draft recommendations on saturated fat and added sugar reductions, and on portion size availability, for biscuits, cakes, pastries, buns, chocolate confectionery (and soft drinks); for consultation.

The BCCC Technical & Regulatory Committee responded to the consultation highlighting the challenges manufacturers face regarding saturated fat, portion size and energy reductions across product porfolios, as well as emphasising their progress in providing consumers with healthier choices to date.
