Packaged foods can contain high amounts of sugar, sodium, and saturated fat. Regular consumption of foods high in these nutrients can contribute to health problems such as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
Front-of-Pack Warning Labels (FOPWL) provide clear, easy-to-see warnings on the front of food packages when they contain excessive amounts of nutrients of concern.
We are calling for mandatory Front-of-Pack Warning Labels on packaged foods in Pakistan to help consumers quickly understand what they are buying and make more informed food choices.
Clear food labels can help people recognize products that are high in nutrients of concern and support healthier choices.
Add your voice in support of clearer food labelling.
Sign the petition to support mandatory FOPWL in Pakistan.
In our country, most people (even if they're health conscious or suffering from metabolic disorders) avoid the hassle of reading back of pack labels, and in some cases the font size of risky substances is so small that many people can't even read or identify them. So FOPLs of a standard size are now a necessity to to stop people from buying what's not good for them.
