Producers, manufacturers and retailers should take a responsible approach to prioritising the clarity of health messages on food and drink packaging.

[Note: This action is further expanded within the Route Map in relation to the following]
labels identifying the salt, saturated fat and sugar content of products should be clear and easily understood by consumers who may not have high levels of literacy or health literacy.
the FSA's recommendations for front of pack labelling should be implemented consistently across products and retailers to minimise consumer confusion.

Ensuring simple, direct and consistent communication of what a lower energy, less energy-dense diet is for an audience that is more likely than not to be overweight.  Official guidance to the public on a healthy diet needs to provide easily understood practical advice about recommended total quantities and energy consumption, not just a healthy balance when portion sizes may be excessive.
