The UK’s number one supermarket is introducing new food labels

Editor, Nutraceuticals World

“The UK’s number one supermarket is introducing new food labels that rank a product according to its position on the glycemic index, a system that measures the effects of food on blood sugar levels. Tesco is calling the system ‘a more moderate alternative to the Atkins Diet’, and is targeting Britons’ rush to slim down ahead of the summer months. Using the Glycemic Index (GI) to diet has already had a major impact on Australia’s food industry and the UK market has been watching interest in the diet grow. While low-carb foods are thought to be under development by a number of manufacturers, low-GI foods could be seen as a more ‘sensible’ way of reducing sugars and losing weight.”
