FOOD
CERC’s commitment to consumer protection includes ensuring that everyone has access to food that is healthy, nutritious and safe to eat. With obesity and diet-related disease a major problem around the world, food is a critical public health issue which affects everyone. CERC is determined to ensure consumers are protected against foods and food production processes which are hazardous to health or life.
CERC has been campaigning to help consumers choose healthier diets for over 20 years. The campaigns are focused on placing restrictions on the marketing of unhealthy food to children, better nutrition information and reductions in the levels of fat, sugar and salt in food. As an NGO with our in-house laboratory, we are working to make sure that consumers are represented in national health governance. We provide an informed choice to the consumers through our constant efforts and also give voice in the development of national food standards.
