July 1st, 2006
BY ALAN OSBORN
The European Snacks Association, representing savoury snacks companies, agrees that it "has a role to play in the debate around nutrition and health and is actively engaging in this debate." At this week's meeting in Brussels ESA said it would offer "more complete on-pack information and a wider product choice through reformulation" in 2006 and "new guidelines on commercial communication." But it stressed that "switching off advertising" was no solution to bringing about change in the market.
