Petition: Include added sugar in food products labels · change.org
The current nutritional labeling of processed food products does not differentiate between added sugars and those present naturally in their ingredients.
Sign this campaign to request the Ministry of Health to modify the legislation so that the amount of sugar added on the label is indicated.
In this way the consumer will have transparent information that will allow him to make decisions in the choice of the products he consumes.
According to the World Health Organization, the intake of free sugars is one of the main factors that is giving rise to an increase in obesity and diabetes in the world, so it recommends reducing the consumption of free sugars to obtain benefits for thehealth.
Sign and share this campaign to let those responsible for the Ministry of Health know that a change in the nutritional labeling of food products is necessary.
In some countries, as in the United States, a new nutritional information label indicated that indicates added sugars has already been approved, so that consumers can know how much sugar it has been added to the product.
