Public Health England to try to make food more healthy
There may be a scheme which tries to highlight how healthy ready meals are. If there are logos on the packaging highlighting the one of your five a day on it would you be more likely to buy it? Or put it back on the shelf if it didn't carry any health benefits?
The Chief Nutritionist at Public Health England is Dr Alison Tedstone. She commented "The possible extension of the five-a-day logo to include composite foods [which is a product with more than one ingredient, one of which is a fruit or a vegetable] is one of a range of options that we are considering.
"However we have not decided on the criteria to use to extend the scheme to include composite foods and we also want to help people to reduce their intake of added sugar, saturated fat and salt overall."
