the EU Commission on Employment, Social Policy, Health and Consumer Affairs (
). EPSCO
) has asked EU member states to
draft a national policy bill to make food
by the end of 2017.the decision sets out very clear targets for food improvement and will be implemented across the EU.to improve people's daily diets, it's very easy to make healthy choices, " he says. In order to achieve this goal, a holistic programme is needed: a material and social environment is needed to support and encourage healthy food consumption patterns. In addition, considerable nutritional information and public health education are important in policies and activities at the national and local levels. Improvements infoods, through reduced salt content, as well as reduced saturated fatty acids, sugars, and energy, as well as small-serving packaging, are important tools for making healthy choices easier. In short, none of these measures will lead to an increase in the energy baseline values of member States. Some Member States have made some progress in improving food choices. However, differences in preferences and dietary structure due to cultural differences may determine the rate of salt, fat and sugar reduction to some extent. "" We hope to produce a progress report at least every two years, which will provide benchmarks and best time methods for Member States to carry out their actions, and will share the experience of the results with Member States. "" we need to gradually reconstruct the food industry, so that consumers do not need to pay too much attention to infant and children's food, so that children do not have too early to eat high-salt high-sugar food preferences.
Vytenis Andriukaitis
, a member of the Health and Food Nutrition Committee, said he was pleased to see the King of the Netherlands' strong commitment to healthier foods.In addition, the decision is a step further in raising awareness and will promote the implementation of measures at the EU and national levels.resolution also has the support of the
group FoodDrinkEurope,
organization. "We visited the European Commission and its member states and urged all businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, to promote innovation, focus on product structures, and include educational programs on food, meals and healthy lifestyles for consumers. The next step at the EU level is not to distinguish between food being 'good' or 'bad', because it is not right from a nutritional point of view. BEUS , a European consumer
,
, also welcomed the resolution. The group's food and health leader,
Ilaria Passarani
, says concerns about food composition raise awareness that a single sandwich or bowl of cereal contains more sugar and salt than recommended in the dietary guidelines. We will then visit European governments to put the resolution into action and make healthy choices very easy for people."We welcome the commitment of member states to develop national food product improvement plans by the end of next year.

more than once found that the amount of salt, sugar and fat could be twice or even triple between two seemingly identical products. It is time to reduce these non-essential ingredients from our food and beverages. Susanne Løgstrup

EHN
), said: "We are pleased that
EPSCO
stresses that the government is responsible for setting public health targets. In order to be more efficient and to be able to involve the majority of the population, especially children and vulnerable groups, more needs to be done to reconstruct mainstream products that are consumed by the majority of the European population on a daily level. Withadoption of this resolution,
Løgstrup
seizes the opportunity to "remind" the European Commission that strict nutritional measures are a very good way to promote the upgrading of food products.in
