Intersessional Event of the FAO Committee on Commodity Problems (CCP): Food Trade and Nutrition – The Role of Nutritional Labelling

The event aims to foster dialogue and collaboration among stakeholders, ensuring that trade policies, especially nutritional labelling, can contribute effectively to improving nutritional outcomes.

Participants will have the opportunity to explore the impact of labelling as a measure to promote healthier dietary choices and improve public health outcomes. They will also discuss how this can be compatible with trade policies and regulations to support achieving the food security and nutrition objectives.

This event will convene policymakers, public health experts, trade representatives and consumer advocacy groups to discuss best practices and strategies for effective nutrition labelling. A diverse panel of speakers from different regions will share their experiences in implementing regulations. In addition, the event will be an opportunity to highlight the role of FAO and other international organizations in supporting evidence-based decision-making and providing guidance on labelling policies.
