FSA Draft Saturated Fat and Energy Intake Programme

On 26 March, FSA published a draft programme to explore ways of reducing the average amount of saturated fat in people's diets and help make it easier for people to eat more healthily. FSA's consultation sought views on four proposed work streams:

  • Promoting consumer awareness and understanding of healthy eating.
  • Encouraging increased availability of reduced saturated fat and energy alternatives to mainstream products. Encouraging the uptake of these options by consumers.
  • Encouraging increased availability of smaller portion sizes for some products and encourage their uptake by consumers.
  • Encourage the food industry to improve the nutrition profile of its mainstream products by reducing saturated fat and energy values through reformulation.
