As part of its 2008 Saturated Fat and Energy Intake program to combat cardiovascular disease and diabetes, the UK’s Food Standards Agency has drafted recommendations for food manufacturers to use less saturated fat and sugar, reduce portion sizes and increase marketing dollars for healthier products.

Final guidelines are expected by year-end.
