Antigua and Barbuda Consumers Have the Right to Know

The goal of the campaign is to ensure that the voices of consumers are considered in the voting on the Final Draft CARICOM Regional Standard for Specification for labelling of pre-packaged food.

The Standard includes octagonal “High in” front-of-package warning label specifications on pre-packaged products and the PAHO Nutrient Profile model. Global and regional evidence support that the octagonal front of package warning labels (FOPWL) are the most effective and simple tool to allow Caribbean people to correctly, easily, and quickly identify unhealthy foods high in sugars, fats and sodium.

This campaign is targeted at country level members of the committee, who are currently considering the regulations.
