Traffic Light Signpost Labelling Scheme (EDM2055)

Traffic Light Signpost Labelling Scheme

EDM number 2055 in 2005-06, proposed by David Amess on 27/04/2006.

That this House welcomes the decision by the Food Standards Agency's (FSA) Board to adopt a traffic light coloured signpost labelling scheme; is very disappointed by the announcements of some food manufacturers and retailers, such as PepsiCo, Kellogg's, NestlÃ©, Danone, Kraft and Tesco, rejecting the FSA's scheme; is very concerned that a plethora of different schemes based on various formats, criteria, symbols and colours will only add to confusion by preventing people from being able easily to identify which products are high in fat, sugar and salt and to compare them; welcomes the comprehensive work by the FSA to develop a consistent signpost labelling scheme which found that a multiple traffic light scheme is the most effective in helping consumers to make healthy choices; welcomes the fact that the food industry is keen to improve nutrition labelling on its products; and therefore calls on all retailers and manufacturers to support the FSA scheme and apply it to their products.

This motion has been signed by a total of 61 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
