PRESS RELEASE
Responding to the Food Standards Agency’s recommendations on reducing the
saturated fat and added sugar in key sweet foods, Julian Hunt, Food and Drink
Federation (FDF) Director of Communications, says:
“UK food producers are rightly proud of the incredible work they have done to
change the recipes of popular products so that they are lower in calories, fat
and
saturated fat – while making no compromises on quality or taste.
Our members
have been rising to this particular challenge for a number of years – and are
now
leading the world when it comes to developing new products and refreshing old
favourites. We are pleased that the Food Standards Agency has recognised the
successful work undertaken by food companies and the complexities involved with
further reformulation efforts.”
