New Toolkit for Responsible Labelling

June 24th, 2015

New York, 24 June 2015.

Today the Consumer Goods Forum has launched its Health & Wellness Toolkit at its Summit in New York. The Toolkit is a practical help for companies to realize the Consumer Goods Forum ambitions to contribute to consumer health. The ambitions on health related labelling are: to have a nutrition panel back-of-pack, energy information front-of-pack and to cooperate with further labelling initiatives that are supported by national governments. A reference is made to the Choices logo as well as the Keyhole, Finnish Heart and Singaporean Healthier Choice labels as an example of these further labelling initiatives.

Laurent Chastain, Head of the Corporate Wellness Unit, Nestlé Group, and Co-Chair of the CGF Health & Wellness Steering Committee, said "The practical examples show exactly what can be done today and we look forward to continuing to grow this list to support the wider membership and accelerate the implementation of our commitments”.
