Some 300 Caribbean health professionals and over S40 regional organisations have publicly voiced support for octagonal front of package warning labels to help consumers across the region protect their health.
The health professionals and organisations are signatories to a month-long campaign, spearheaded by the Healthy Caribbean Coalition (HCC), to demonstrate national and regional support for octagonal front of package warning labels.
This campaign comes as key stakeholders in CARICOM countries vote on whether Caribbean consumers will benefit from the introduction of octagonal shaped nutrition warning labels on the front of packaged foods.
