Be treatwise® helps to explain the place that confectionery has, as a treat food, which can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet and active lifestyle.
The Be treatwise® logo on the front of confectionery packs encourages people to ‘Enjoy a balanced diet’ and to be mindful of the energy content in the product they consume.
Be treatwise® complements the mandatory nutrition information panel (NIP) on the back of confectionery packages. NIPs on all types of food packaging are comprehensive and give information on serving size as well as additional nutrition information, and in some cases, optional percentage daily intakes (%DIs).
Independent research indicates that Be treatwise® has become an effective way of reminding consumers of confectionery’s role as a treat food. In partnership with the rest of the food industry, the confectionery industry is committed to ensuring that consumers have as much information as possible to assist them in their purchase decisions.
