Summary One
This article is about the production of colour labels which could help to protect people from obesity and diet-related illnesses.
THE FSA suppose that people will pay attention to which kind of food it is, “good” or “bad”. Consumers agree with this because they want to know what amounts of fat the food contain. However, in the case of colour labelling, the same problem exists. The main problem is that some companies wouldn’t agree with this program, so they will be under pressure and the companies will have greater change in sales and profits.
Summary Two
The text is about fear of growing obesity and diet-related illnesses. Because of this labels will be put on the front of food products. Some famous companies have already signed an agreement to give more information about the nutritional values of their wares. The plan has been announced and this spring the brands will publish how many calories and how much fat and sugar that their products include. The manufacturers are following pressure from the media and government. They had two schemes, one of which is colour coding while the other is a traffic light system. The Pepsico’s chief spoke yesterday and explained about the labels – and they will sign up to the GDA’s scheme. The consumers want to learn how much fat and sugar the products have and they want a trusted source. The head of Kraft said the labels will benefit consumers.
