FG and Labour seek easy-to-follow food-labelling system
Fine Gael and the Labour Party are calling for the introduction of a UK-style system of food labelling in Ireland.
The potential coalition partners say an easy-to-follow guide should be implemented showing the amount of salt, sugar and fat contained in various food products.
They say the UK system, which uses a green, red and amber colour code, has led to a 40% drop in sales of unhealthy foods.
