The Responsibility Deal Food Network has a broad remit, with a specific focus on the content of food, promoting healthier food choices, improving availability of healthy food and providing information to consumers. The network has so far agreed three pledges: to provide calorie information for consumers eating out; reduce the salt content of food; and transfats. The network is chaired by Susan Jebb and supported by the Health Secretary Andrew Lansley. A steering group will set the direction, pace and priorities of the work programme. [1]

Collective Pledges

  • To provide calorie information for food and non alcoholic drink in out of home settings from 1 September 2011
  • Reach agreed salt reduction targets by the end of 2012
  • To remove transfats from products by the end of 2011
