Defining the News
A congressional leader on Friday urged Filipinos to be more conscious of the nutritional value of the food items they buy to ensure a healthy lifestyle.
Under HB 9344, all pre-packed food products would be required to include a label containing the following information: number of servings or other units of measure per container, the total number of calories derived from any source and derived from the total fat. The lawmaker said many packaged food products sold in supermarkets, convenience stores and micro and small stores lack labels to properly inform consumers of the nutritional content of the items.
“Although there are rules and regulations being implemented by health and nutrition agencies of the government as regards food labeling to ensure food safety and control, many pre-packed food being sold for retail still lack nutritional value labels.”
