GLOBE supported the general intent of the food labelling policy guideline (the Policy Guideline). Our major comments to the submission related to:
- clarifying the aim
- broadening the principles to include concepts such as equity
- giving more explicit consideration of conflict-of-interest management.
As a research organisation focused on obesity prevention, GLOBE is interested in the impact of the policy guideline on public health. Guidelines that are more clearly aligned with
promoting healthy food consumption and decreasing unhealthy food consumption, will enhance our ability to advocate for better public health policy, including through food labelling.
