Listen to this siteThis is Issue 2 of the technical guidance for the Agency's front-of-pack nutritional signpost labelling approach.
The technical guidance includes the nutritional criteria that underpin the traffic light colours, advice on signpost design issues, as well as example signpost visuals.
This guidance has been revised and re-issued to include criteria for breakfast cereals and to incorporate a modification to the sugars red (high) criteria, which is intended to help consumers better identify foods that are healthier options, for example those where the sugars content is due to high levels of fruit.
If you are a retailer or manufacturer interested in finding out more about front-of-pack signposts, please contact Eugenia Brides who will be happy to provide information on our approach and answer any questions you have about it.
