Health & Nutrition |
Meat plays an important role in the diet of the nation and the BMPA strongly supports advice to consumers on the benefits and need for a ‘balanced diet’, incorporating several food groups.
However, consumer and media interest in health has steadily increased in recent years and in 2004, the UK Government, published a white paper, ‘Choosing health’ which has been welcomed by the BMPA. This identified a range of areas for Government, the food industry and society in general, to focus upon. Of particular relevance to the meat sector are salt and saturated fat intake.
