Scotland
Feb 17, 2023
Food Standards Scotland (FSS) has agreed to be a Reformul8 partner with Food and Drink Federation Scotland’s (FDF Scotland) Reformulation for Health (RFH) programme.
As a Reformul8 partner FSS can work with industry to address some of the worrying findings identified by research carried out by the organisation into the sale of high calorie products such as cakes, pastries, biscuits and muffins provided when eating out or on the go.
The FSS research found the average calories within cakes, doughnuts, biscuits, sweet pastries, sweet scones and waffles, from out of home outlets such as coffee shops, bakeries and cafes, to be over 450, with the highest products reaching over 1600 calories.
