What are Front of Pack Warning Labels?

Front of pack warning labels are small, visible markers on the front of packaged foods. They tell you at a glance when a product is high in ingredients that can harm your health, such as added sugar, salt, saturated fat, or excess calories.

Unlike the small print on the back, warning labels are designed to be seen before you buy. They help you compare products quickly without needing a nutrition degree.

Countries around the world are adopting these labels because they work. When people can see a clear warning, they are more likely to choose a healthier option, and manufacturers are more likely to improve their recipes.
