14 Aug 2024 --- The British charities Action on Salt and Action on Sugar call for increased nutrition transparency in the UK out-of-home sector after finding that most assessment approaches deem the majority of best-selling menu items in the sector as “less healthy.” The organizations lament that reporting on out-of-home product healthiness “remains scarce and inconsistent.” The charities note that in contrast to packaged foods, reporting on health and nutrition in the out-of-home sector is scarce and inconsistent. Only three out of 20 leading companies publicly disclose complete nutrition information per 100 g and per serving and ingredient lists. This makes it difficult to set standards for product healthiness in the sector and monitor progress.
