Label My Food Forum - View Single Post - Should the campaign cover health as well?

For the moment, we don't have anything about health issues and food labelling. This is a hot topic in the media, with calls for salt and fat monitoring and so on.

Is this something that we should include as well? We could, for instance, ask restaurants to give an indication of the fat content of a meal using the wheel/traffic light system, or a text based system. Alternatively they could simply label a meal the 'healthy option', for example.
