flag Mandatory UK food warning labels could prevent 110,000 obesity-related deaths by 2045.

flag A new study finds that mandatory front-of-pack nutrition warning labels on high-fat, high-salt, and high-sugar foods in the UK could prevent over 110,000 obesity-related deaths in the next two decades. flag Researchers project the labels—similar to those in Mexico and Canada—would reduce obesity rates by 4.44 percentage points, outperforming voluntary traffic light systems. flag Experts say the labels would simplify consumer choices and push food companies to reformulate products. flag While the UK currently requires nutrition info on package backs and allows voluntary front-of-pack labeling, the government is advancing a 10-Year Health Plan with measures like advertising restrictions and promotion limits to combat obesity. flag Public health advocates urge adoption of mandatory warnings to improve population health.
