Explaining that the proposed Traffic Light Labeling System may not achieve the intended results, Sanitarium's General Manager, Pierre van Heerden said, “The aim of any front of pack labeling should be to help improve eating habits in line with other government initiatives.

It goes beyond ranking individual food nutrients and provides additional recommendations on the best way to incorporate a range of foods into your diet.”
