A city council is backing clearer sugar labelling

The Porirua City Council is submitting to the joint regulation and food
committee - showing its support for clearer sugar labelling on packaged foods
and drinks.
Deputy Mayor Izzy Ford says it's an important issue for them - with diabetes
on the rise and 44 percent of children ending up at school with tooth decay.
She says a pictorial approach would make it easier for kids to make good
decisions.
Ford says they want to make sure kids can interpret what is inside the
bottles.
