Many leading food companies make products that are not so healthy for consumers. In a never-before-seen move within the food industry, Mars will distinguish its products between “everyday” and “occasional” items on food labels and on its website. This means that the company itself will tell you which products shouldn’t be consumed more than once a week due to high salt, sugar or fat content. The company behind Dolmio and Uncle Ben’s sauces wants to “create and promote healthier food choices” by labeling its products with such labels, but experts believe the move isn’t enough to slow down obesity as only the “health conscious” will look at the labels.
