The Scottish Government has published a consultation – closing 1 July – on mandatory calorie labelling in the out of home (OOH) sector in Scotland. The consultation seeks views on whether the provision of calorie information in OOH settings at the point of choice should be mandatory, and if so:
- The manner in which calorie information would be presented so that it is easily accessible and understood
- The advice and guidance that OOH businesses may require to ensure that there is parity in provision of calorie information across the sector
- Identifying any unintended consequences and impact on health and other inequalities that may arise from mandating calorie information at the point of choice in OOH settings and measures potentially required to mitigate the unintended consequences and impacts
- Whether there should be any exemptions to the application of requirements for the provision of calorie information in OOH settings.
