The questionnaire aims to gather information on production levels of reduced fat spreadable fats and the frequency of use of terms implying a reduced fat content. It also focuses on identifying any practical difficulties experienced by consumers, industry and enforcement authorities relating to the use of the terms 'reduced fat' and 'low fat' or 'light' for these products and requests suggestions on how these may be resolved and improved. The FSA letter indicates that it is important that the UK response reflects accurately the current market situation and practices so your contributions and comments on these issues would be welcome.
