International organizations support the implementation of front nutrition warning labeling
Panama
Oct 24, 2024
In an event of great relevance for public health in Panama organized by the Healthy Food Movement, the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) jointly presented their position in favor of Front Nutritional Warning Labeling.
This initiative, promoted by Congressman José Pérez Barboni and supported by civil society, seeks to strengthen the draft bill No. 57 and protect healthy food, public health and human rights of Panamanians.
According to a recent study, conducted in collaboration with PAHO, FAO and the Healthy Eating Movement, the octagonal labeling system was shown to be the most effective in helping consumers in Panama make healthier choices. The results revealed that people exposed to these labels more frequently chose less processed products and easily recognized foods high in sugar, fat and sodium.
