The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office have announced that they have formed a partnership with a global nutrition charity to encourage major food companies to improve the impact of their products on consumers’ health.
The aim of the partnership with the Access to Nutrition Initiative (ATNI) is to encourage some of the largest food companies to help people at risk of malnutrition make healthier choices, particularly vulnerable populations in lower-income countries, including Bangladesh, Kenya, and Tanzania.
The UK’s £2 million package of support will allow ATNI to carry out assessments of the world’s largest food and drink companies, over a 2-year period, gathering data on factors including how healthy and sustainable their products are. They will also aim to capture for the first time how well they support and meet the needs of communities that are at risk of malnutrition and preventable deaths, specifically of women and children.
