A ground-breaking campaign aimed at tackling the troubling issues of childhood obesity and the regional epidemic of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) was launched Friday by the Healthy Caribbean Coalition (HCC), in partnership with the Pan American Health Organisation (PAHO), the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Commission and UNICEF.
Titled “Now More Than Ever: Better Labels, Better Choices, Better Health”, the campaign seeks to both raise awareness of children’s right to nutritious food and to mobilize public and policymaker support for adopting octagonal warning labels on the front of packaged products to facilitate healthier food decisions.
