FDF comment on the government's obesity framework

13 October 2011

In response to the Government announcement on the obesity framework, FDF Director of Communications Terry Jones said: “We are pleased to see the Government taking a holistic approach to tackling the complex problem of obesity.

The framework's clear focus and defined roles for a wide range of players including government, individuals, businesses and the health service at both a national and local level recognises that this is everybody's business.

“Food manufacturers have a great track record of positive contributions to improving public health including clear labelling and reformulation of products, to help consumers make healthy choices. Following the announcement today, we are committed to continuing to work in partnership with the Department of Health and others through the Public Health Responsibility Deal to play our part in supporting people to achieve an appropriate calorie intake and a healthy lifestyle.”
