APPG Launches Survey on Calorie Labelling

In July 2020 the UK Government released its obesity strategy. Two years on, the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Obesity is keen to understand the impact and perception of the obesity strategy for the general public. A significant policy within the strategy has been the introduction of calorie labelling of food and drinks in restaurants and takeaway outlets with more than 250 employees. Smaller restaurant and takeaway outlets are also being encouraged to implement this policy. The APPG on Obesity is keen to identify what impact calorie labelling has had.

The findings of this survey will contribute to the APPG on Obesity’s understanding of the effectiveness of this current health policy and inform its ongoing work to ensure obesity is a top priority for government.
