Example of a GDA label
Members of the Food and Drink Federation are convinced that nutrition labelling based on Guideline Daily Amounts (GDAs) is a powerful tool to help improve the food literacy of UK consumers.
Peer-reviewed research by influential organisations such as European Food
Information Council (EUFIC), as well as our own research, confirms our belief
that GDA
labelling is making a difference for British consumers.
Our success here in the UK is being replicated across Europe – where GDA
labelling is being rolled out on a voluntary basis in all 27 EU Member States.
And the
European Commission has put a system based on Guideline Daily Amounts (GDAs) at
the heart of a new food
labelling regulation currently being negotiated in Brussels.
MEPs voted on 17 June 2010 in the European Parliament on the Food Information
Proposal.
