FDF Response to Consultation on the Obesity Prevention Framework for Northern
Back to index
January 2010
FDF and its members share concerns about public health, particularly in relation
to rising obesity levels, and are absolutely committed to playing a positive
role in responding to this challenge.
Our commitment is long-standing: we published our first health and wellbeing
action plan in 2004 and in 2007 we established a Health and Wellbeing Steering
Group to work constructively with Government, regulators and others to help
find
solutions to the complex issues at the heart of the diet and health challenges
here
in the UK.
We have an excellent track record in delivering on these commitments,
particularly in areas such as front-of-pack nutrition labelling and product
reformulation,
where the UK is widely acknowledged to be leading the world. Our members have
also been developing workplace wellbeing schemes that go way beyond the
traditional health and safety agenda to focus on the health of their employees.
