The nationalist congresswoman from the Valle department, Carolina Flores, presented the Front Labeling Law project with the aim of ensuring that the Honduran population knows for certain the nutritional information of food products.

Front labeling is a warning, based on scientific evidence, and shows the nutrient profiles established by the Pan American Health Organization, making it an effective measure to clearly, visibly, and understandably inform about the content of critical nutrients.

The objective of the law is to guaranty the right to health and adequate and responsible nutrition thru the promotion of healthy eating, providing simple and understandable nutritional information on packaged foods and beverages to promote assertive and active decision-making, and to safeguard consumer rights, states the project.
