Tesco to clarify labelling to promote healthier eating

THE fat, salt or sugar levels of each product on sale in Tesco outlets is to be clearly displayed on its foods within the next 18 months.

These nutrition labels will let consumers know how much each product contributes to the daily diet.

The supermarket, which is Ireland’s biggest grocery retailer, has put the information panels on 5,000 own-brand foods and aims to ensure all its 7,000 products have the labels by the end of next year.
