Statement by the UN Special Rapporteur on the right to health on the adoption of front-of-package warning labelling to tackle NCDs

United Nations - Human Rights "Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a major challenge of this century highly rooted on overweight, obesity and unhealthy diets. As part of their right-to-health duties, States should address the diet-related NCDs preventable risk factors and promote frameworks whereby the food and beverage industry convey accurate, easily understandable, transparent and comprehensible information on their products. Front-of-package warning labelling regulations are much needed in this regard." (Photo: Like_the_Grand_Canyon/flickr, C BY-NC 2.0)
