Dive Summary:
- A standard food labeling system will be introduced in the UK next year, meant to help consumers make healthier choices.
- Most of the changes from current labeling practices are centered on the nutritional information, with daily amounts and an easily read, universal color-coded system for things such as fat and sugar content.
- Some experts don't think these measures are enough to battle the UK's rampant health problems, however they concede that it is indeed a step in the right direction.
