Topical issues

We believe that our customers, consumers and employees care about the same issues that we do.

This section of the website gives Northern Foods' perspective on some of the topical issues relevant to our business.
Salt, fat and sugar

Salt - We continue our work to support the FSA’s target of reducing consumer salt intake to 6g per day by 2010.

Fat - Northern Foods is making good progress towards the removal of hydrogenated vegetable oils from its key branded products.

Labelling - Ensuring that we support the consumer’s ability to make informed choices is the driver behind our approach to labelling.

Genetically Modified (GM) food - We source only non-genetically modified ingredients for all the products we manufacture.

Organic food - We are exploring the possibilities for increasing organic production to support demand.

Palm Oil - Since January 2006 we have been members of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO).
