 Monitoring Food Marketing to Children in Turkey 2018


Publisher: World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe

Volume: 46 pages, pdf

Description

The Vienna Declaration on Nutrition and Noncommunicable Diseases, the WHO European Food and Nutrition Action Plan, the Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases and the WHO Commissions on Ending Childhood Obesity and on Noncommunicable Diseases (WHO Regional Office for Europe, 2013b, 2014; WHO, 2016) all recommend that countries enact comprehensive programmes to promote the intake of healthy foods and reduce the intake of foods and non-alcoholic beverages high in saturated fat, salt and/or free sugars (HFSS foods). They give particular priority to nutrition for children and adolescents. A key recommendation is the full implementation of the WHO (2010) Set of recommendations on the marketing of foods and non-alcoholic beverages to children, reflecting the unequivocal evidence that the marketing of HFSS foods influences childhood obesity.
