Download or read book Sugars Content in Selected Foods in the EU written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015, as part of the EU Framework for National Initiatives on Selected Nutrients, the EU High Level Group on Nutrition and Physical Activity (HLG) set as a target the reduction of added sugars in food products by a minimum of 10% by 2020 against a 2015 baseline. A suitable monitoring framework is necessary to describe the baseline situation and to evaluate the progress of food reformulation; its development is under way in some EU Member States, as well as part of the Joint Action on Nutrition and Physical Activity (JANPA). This report complements these activities by filling data gaps where needed and by providing a broad geographical coverage based on commercially available data collected in a harmonised way for branded products across Europe. It estimates sugars content from 2015 data for the three product categories identified by the HLG for immediate action: sugars sweetened beverages, breakfast cereals and dairy products. Based on market volume information, this report estimates the amount of total sugars sold to European consumers by these three product categories. By providing the mean sugars content, weighted by market share, for product (sub-) groups, it also highlights the existence of product groups whose reformulation is critical to achieving the 2020 target. The results highlight the need to adopt a multifaceted approach that targets not only individual high-sugars products, but also the products with high market shares that are contributing the highest overall volumes of sugars to consumers, independent of actual total sugars content. These results are calculated using 2015 data from a commercial market research company, Euromonitor International. The analysis is performed for 22 European countries; however, a comparison between countries is not provided due to differing market coverage.

Download or read book Guideline Sugars Intake for Adults and Children written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2015-03-31 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guideline provides updated global, evidence-informed recommendations on the intake of free sugars to reduce the risk of NCDs in adults and children, with a particular focus on the prevention and control of unhealthy weight gain and dental caries. The recommendations in this guideline can be used by policy-makers and programme managers to assess current intake levels of free sugars in their countries relative to a benchmark. They can also be used to develop measures to decrease intake of free sugars, where necessary, through a range of public health interventions. Examples of such interventions and measures that are already being implemented by countries include food and nutrition labelling, consumer education, regulation of marketing of food and non-alcoholic beverages that are high in free sugars, and fiscal policies targeting foods and beverages that are high in free sugars. This guideline should be used in conjunction with other nutrient guidelines and dietary goals, in particular those related to fats and fatty acids (including saturated fatty acids and trans-fatty acids), to guide development of effective public health nutrition policies and programmes to promote a healthy diet.
Download or read book P4 40 04 High Sugar Content of Baby Foods Sold in Europe written by Joao Breda and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHO guidelines on sugars strongly recommend reducing free sugar intake to below 10% of total energy, also their guidance on u2018Ending the inappropriate promotion of foods for infants and young children (IYC)u2019 recommends avoiding free sugars. Information on the sugar content of commercially available complementary foods (CACFs) for infants is limited, and the levels of added, free, and total sugar in baby foods is not fully addressed in existing guidelines. Up-to-date data is needed to inform recommendations for revising European regulations and guidelines. Front and back of pack information for baby foods from countries across the WHO European Region was collected. Mean sugar content per 100g product and percentage energy from total sugar by food category were determined. The percentage of products containing added sugars by food category was calculated; as was the percentage of savoury meals containing pureed fruit, which is often used to sweeten products. The creation of the product categories was part of WHO work to develop a Nutrient Profile Model for CACFs marketed as suitable for IYC aged 6u201336 months. A literature review of current issues also informed the process. 2642 CACFs from 10 countries were summarised; 768 products sold in the UK; over 200 each from Denmark (319), Spain (241), Italy (430) and Malta (243) and between 100-200 from Hungry, Norway, Portugal and Slovenia. About a third of energy in CACFs in these European countries came from total sugar and the mean contribution of total sugar for most food categories in the countries was higher than 10%. The amount of added and free sugar content was not labelled. However, added sugars listed as ingredients were widespread across product categories, and the type varied across countries and products, though concentrated fruit juice was most common. Savoury meal purees did not contain added sugars except in UK and Malta; however fruit puree as an ingredient was found in 7% of those examined across Europe and were most likely in UK savoury meals: in 15% on average and 41% of pureed meals with meat as the first named food. In conclusion, the sugar content of baby foods across Europe is high and updated regulations and reformulation are needed. Sugars can be restricted in a variety of ways, but first consultation with WHO Europe Member States is required to support the establishment of effective legal and policy measures to avoid inappropriate manufacture and selling of infant foods.Conflict of interest:The University of Leeds has established a spin out company myfood24, for our new on-line dietary assessment tool.

This book was released on 2023-03-14 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the latest updates related to food security and nutrition in Europe and Central Asia, including estimates on the cost and affordability of healthy diets. It also explores how governments are supporting the food and agriculture sector and how to repurpose policies and incentives to make healthy diets more affordable and agrifood systems more environmentally sustainable. The new estimates confirm that the prevalence of hunger at chronic or severe levels is relatively low in the ECA region, through the prevalence of food insecurity at moderate or severe levels can be quite high. The region is seeing alarmingly high – and rising – rates of overweight and obesity. The COVID-19 pandemic has added 25.5 million people in the region to the ranks of the moderately or severely food insecure, leaving them without access to safe, nutritious and adequate food. The war in Ukraine has made the situation worse. Almost all ECA subregions are experiencing increased costs and reduced affordability of healthy diets because of higher food prices and lower incomes. This report contains an in-depth analysis of the repurposing of food and agricultural policies to ensure the food systems transformation is better suited to addressing the “triple challenge” of achieving food security and good nutrition for better health, providing livelihoods to farmers and others connected to the sector, and reducing the nature and climate footprint of the sector. This report also reviews complementing policies within and outside of agrifood systems to assess whether repurposing efforts are impactful in the ECA region.
Download or read book European Food Composition Tables in Translation written by Leonore Arab and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The limited resources available for chemical analyses of components of interest in food has forced scientists to bor row data from published food composition works of other countries. Due to language barriers, this is often undertaken without due knowledge of the background and the instruc tions for use. This collection of introductions, translated in to English, of frequently cited, published food tables has been compiled with the assistance and cooperation of many collaborators throughout the world. We hope that the result will facilitate a more appropriate and extensive use of foreign food tables for scientific purposes. Lenore Arab Marion Wittler Gotthard Schettler Introduction The following is a compilation of the introductory material included in the most recent edition of 19 of the published food composition tables of 14 European countries. In most cases these translations were graciously provided by the pro ducers of the tables or native-speaking people working closely with the information concerned. Recognition of the authors is given on each of the title pages. The title page also includes full publication details of the various tables and summary information on the number of foods contained in the latest edition as well as the number of food components within the tables. It should be noted that a complete list of components is not always given for each food, either because the component is not present, or data is not avail able.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s not easy to navigate through EU food laws, so this book provides a clear analysis of the relevant EU regulations, making it beneficial to food safety organizations and food industry professionals. Ensuring Food Safety in the European Union provides an overall detailed analysis of the many and complex initiatives implemented by the European Union Institutions since the European Commission adopted on 12 January 2000 the "White Paper on Food Safety" with the objective of defining the policies to improve the level of health protection for the consumers of Europe's food. Achieving the highest standards of food safety in Europe has been a key policy priority for the European Institutions during the past 20 years through the implementation between 2000 and 2019 of many initiatives anticipated in the mentioned White Paper concerning: (i) The establishment of the European Food Safety Authority; (ii) the adoption of new food safety legislations in many domains; and (iii) the adoption of consumer’s mandatory and voluntary information regulations. Features Offers a clear and evolutive view of all relevant procedures and objectives to ensure food safety in European context Up to date presentation of EU relevant regulation and EFSA roles and activities Discusses the basic reasoning underlying the development and objectives of the current approach to food laws The book offers a review of all the available tools and their practical usefulness on food safety at European level and their possible integration. The interest of the European Institutions for food safety policies continues to be very high as shown by the adoption in September 2019 of the EU regulation 1381 to further reinforce and potentiate, among others, EFSA risk assessment. The main target of the book is the food business operators of large and medium enterprises and their consultants. Other interested parties are the authorities competent at national and regional and local level and university teaching professionals in charge of food safety and related courses.

Download or read book Front of Package Nutrition Rating Systems and Symbols written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-01-30 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past decade, tremendous growth has occurred in the use of nutrition symbols and rating systems designed to summarize key nutritional aspects and characteristics of food products. These symbols and the systems that underlie them have become known as front-of-package (FOP) nutrition rating systems and symbols, even though the symbols themselves can be found anywhere on the front of a food package or on a retail shelf tag. Though not regulated and inconsistent in format, content, and criteria, FOP systems and symbols have the potential to provide useful guidance to consumers as well as maximize effectiveness. As a result, Congress directed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to undertake a study with the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to examine and provide recommendations regarding FOP nutrition rating systems and symbols. The study was completed in two phases. Phase I focused primarily on the nutrition criteria underlying FOP systems. Phase II builds on the results of Phase I while focusing on aspects related to consumer understanding and behavior related to the development of a standardized FOP system. Front-of-Package Nutrition Rating Systems and Symbols focuses on Phase II of the study. The report addresses the potential benefits of a single, standardized front-label food guidance system regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, assesses which icons are most effective with consumer audiences, and considers the systems/icons that best promote health and how to maximize their use.
