How can we help consumers make healthier food choices while shopping at the supermarket?

Nutrient warning labels can instantly inform shoppers if a product is high in sugar, salt or fat. But attempts to implement these labels face stiff opposition from the food and beverage industries.

In this episode we hear about the challenges and successes of getting front-of-package warning labels on foods in Colombia and Mexico, including industry interference and lawsuits.

Despite obstacles, they have seen positive results, such as increased awareness, changes in consumer behavior, and product reformulation.

Guests include:

- Javier Zúñiga, Legal Coordinator from El Poder del Consumidor

- Andrés Vélez, Partner at Edulegal, Colombia
