Submission to the Australian Government Department of health joint food regulation system public consultation: labelling of sugars on packaged foods & drinks

The submission was to a consultation prepared by the Food Regulation Standing Committee (FRSC) at the request of the Australia and New Zealand Ministerial Forum on Food Regulation (the Forum) to support consideration of regulatory and non-regulatory options for labelling of sugars on packaged foods and drinks for sale in Australia and New Zealand. The desired outcome of the work is that food labels provide adequate contextual information about sugars to enable consumers to make informed choices in support of the dietary guidelines.
