Restaurant group YO! Sushi has today become the first catering establishment to adopt the Agency's recommended multiple traffic light approach to front-of-pack nutrition food labelling.
The Agency is delighted at the company's decision because the traffic light labels help people make healthier choices quickly and 'at a glance' – not only when shopping but also now when eating out at YO! Sushi’s Japanese-inspired restaurants.
The multiple traffic light approach was developed by the Agency with retailers and manufacturers in mind, based on extensive consumer research. We will be interested to see how YO! Sushi customers react to having traffic lights on the menu.
We hope that YO! Sushi’s support of the scheme will encourage other restaurants and caterers to also consider how they can help their customers make more informed choices about healthier eating when dining out.
YO! Sushi has produced a booklet for its customers that provides nutritional information with traffic light labelling for all of its dishes, and makes it easier for people with a food intolerance or allergy to choose dishes that are soya, gluten or wheat free.
