Background

CAOBISCO: helping consumers make better choices

Published: 03/02/2021

Chocolate, confectionery and biscuits products are fundamentally about bringing pleasure and enjoyment to people. As such, they should be used in moderation and in the framework of a balanced diet and active lifestyle.
Caobisco is committed to bring its contribution to the fight against obesity in Europe. Considering there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution, we have developed a set of engagements (menu of options) that can be implemented by their members according to what makes more sense for their products. Manufacturers have the choice to act in one or more of the following 5 areas: product compositions, mindful eating, consumer information, responsible advertising & marketing to children, promotion of healthy lifestyles.

Consumer Information:
Help consumers make informed dietary decisions, by providing clear, fact-based nutrition information on- and off-pack, through:
• EU-wide Front of Pack Labelling based on Reference Intakes, and additional voluntary national initiatives
• Other channels (e.g. online/off-pack communication)
