Reformulation - A Briefing
Scotland is not achieving its dietary goals for total fat, saturated fat, sugar, salt, fruit and vegetables, oily
fish, and wholegrain. Reformulation could powerfully contribute towards a healthier, more balanced diet.
Reformulation means changing the proportions and content of ingredients in processed food and drink. To promote a healthy diet, reformulation requires reductions in sugar, salt, saturated fat, and calories, plus increases in fibre. These changes could be progressed by a company or through national action as explained further in our briefing sheet.
