The traffic light system for food was referred to several times – a system which I believe should still be subject to great scrutiny and discussion before employed in any shape or form here. The speakers highlighted the communication void which still exists between industry and government/scientists in many instances – a void all parties need to work to fill. No one is the villain or the winner – it must be a team approach if consumers are really to benefit in terms of the choices they make.

I am not surprised to hear that NZers are very value consious as we are finding that in our consumer research aswell. I think sometimes, us, as the food industry, nutritionists and dietitians forget the complexity of food labels as perceived by the consumer. We can read them, interpret them and can extract the information we are looking for but it is not so easy for others. Thanks
