Due to the growing risk of obesity and related diseases in the population of children, effective preventive measures are of great importance. Front-of-pack (FOP) nutrition labelling may contribute to health promotion by increasing consumer awareness on the nutritional qualities of packaged foods and purchasing decisions, and it may stimulate food providers to improve the composition of products.
Appropriate labelling should enable customers to make healthy choices quickly and intuitively. Key Messages: The European Academy of Paediatrics and the European Childhood Obesity Group makes an appeal to European Union legislators to immediately introduce a mandatory, uniform, and interpretative FOP nutrition labelling system.
由于儿童人群中肥胖症和相关疾病的风险不断增加，有效的预防措施非常重要。 包装食品正面标识（FOP）营养标签可能通过提高消费者对包装食品营养质量的认识和购买决策来促进健康，也可能刺激食品供应商改善产品成分。
适当的标签应使客户能够快速直观地做出健康选择。 要点：欧洲儿科学会和欧洲儿童肥胖组织呼吁欧盟立法者立即引入强制性、统一和解释性的 FOP 营养标签系统。
