Traffic Light Labeling: A Good Idea?

The FDI (Food Standards Industry) has introduced traffic light labeling on foods in the UK.

If we want to eat a healthy diet, one of the key things we should be doing is trying to cut down on fat (especially saturated fat), salt and added sugars.

The FDI system allows you to see at a glance if the food you’re looking at has high (red), medium (yellow) or low (green) amounts of each of these nutrients in 100g of the food.
