Authors

Effective implementation of Government Regulation (GR) No. 28/2024 on addressing excessive sugar, salt, and fats (SSF) consumption requires robust front-of-pack nutrition labeling (FoPNL) technical guidelines that prioritize public health while incorporating phased implementation.
Interpretive warning labels are suggested as these have been proven effective from a public health perspective in middle-income countries like Chile, Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay.
The FoPNL technical guidelines should also consider advancing a co-regulatory approach when transitioning to a mandatory scheme, enhancing consumer nutritional literacy, and strengthening the
governance arrangements among key food regulators.
