FFS has launched a consultation on proposals to improve food eaten outside the home in Scotland.
The proposed measures focus on calorie reduction across the sector with the aim of maintaining choice and availability of favourite foods. They include smaller portion sizes, an increase in fruit and vegetables, provision of calorie and nutrition information for consumers, shifting the focus of deals and promotions from unhealthy to healthier options and the role of the public sector.
According to data analysed by FSS, 68% of people in Scotland believe cafes and restaurants should display calories on menus and 82% support greater availability of smaller and half portions of standard-size menu items.
The closing date for comments is 29 February 2019.
