What the petition asks
We believe public awareness about UPFs is akin to that of tobacco in the 1960s.
We think consumers may find it difficult to make informed choices about the reported health risks associated with UPFs.
We think consumers may find it difficult to make informed choices about the reported health risks associated with UPFs.
All UPF packaging should therefore contain health warnings and the marketing of it to children should be banned.
