Monitoring food-related health issues in the UK


We are part of a 17-country pan-EU project (SALUS) assessing and reporting on efforts to reformulate foods to reduce fat (including trans and saturated fat), sugar, salt and total energy content. Our research focus and our Technical Panel reporting system make us ideally placed to report on the progress made in the UK to reformulate foods to contribute to a healthier diet.

Obesity is now a major public health issue for many industrialized nations around the world as there is an alarming increase in the prevalence of overweight and obesity over recent decades. Children and adolescents account for the group causing greatest concern.

SALUS is a European network whose objective is to follow up on the reformulation of manufactured foods, in an EU context, and to identify and exchange best practices in terms of reducing levels of fat, salt and sugar in manufactured foods, and devising information campaigns for consumers.
