FDF Scotland response to Scottish Government restricting food and drink promotions regulations
Food and Drink Federation Scotland has responded to the Scottish Government consultation on restricting promotions of food and drink regulations.
FDF members are committed to ensuring people have access to a wide range of food and drinks that can support a balanced lifestyle.
We know more needs to be done, which is why manufacturers continue to take bold steps. Reformulation, new product development and portion sizing are key actions. FDF members’ voluntary work is already delivering substantial changes to UK shopping baskets, reducing salt, sugars and calories. For more information view our Industry at a Glance stats.
We also believe achieving balance is about much more than what is cut from our diets; increasing fruit, vegetables and wholegrains is also important, as is physical activity. In 2021, FDF launched its 'Action on Fibre' initiative to help bridge the gap between fibre intakes and dietary recommendations.
Tacking obesity is an important public health initiative, but work by manufacturers alone will never be enough. We call on Government to provide help to those communities and individuals who need it most.
Celebrating Food and Nutrition Week showcases our members' action and commitment to support the nation's health.
Reformulation, new product development and portion sizing are key actions for food and drink manufactures in the fight against obesity.
Our members have pledged to take Action on Fibre and help bridge the gap between fibre intakes and the dietary recommendation.
