Description
The World Health Organization (WHO) commits to annually update country score cards on trans-fatty acids, sodium and sugars through the Global Database on the Implementation of Food and Nutrition Action. These score cards show country progress towards adopting and implementing evidence-based and cost-effective policies in line with the WHO best buys for preventing noncommunicable diseases and technical packages such as REPLACE and SHAKE. The score cards both track and motivate country action towards comprehensive, mandatory and best-practice policies for healthy diets.
