All Suggested Policies and Actions
We’ve identified the following policies and actions that might address issues with the food system of Niue.
Action
Set mandatory limits on trans fats, sugar, salt/sodium and/or saturated fat in packaged foods.Impact
Reduce availability of foods high in fats, sugars and salt to all populations.Action
Require nutrition labelling on packages/menus to indicate if foods are high in calories, fats, sugars and/or salt and/or in positive nutrients.Impact
Reduce appeal and availability of foods high in fat, sugar and salt and increases appeal of nutritious foods to all populations.Action
Restrict all forms of marketing, advertising and in-store promotions of HFSS foods, particularly to children.Impact
Reduce appeal foods high in fat, sugar and salt to children.Action
Reformulate processed food to reduce fats, sugars and salt.Impact
Reduce availability of fats, sugars and salt in foods already available to all populations.Action
Implement taxes to decrease affordability and incentivise reformulation of sugary drinks and foods high in fats, sugars and salt food.Impact
Decrease affordability of sugary drinks and foods high in fats, sugars and salt to all populations.
