REFORMULATING FOOD PRODUCTION CONCEPTS TO IMPROVE THE DIET QUALITY IN EUROPE
Several strategies have been adopted to take on the burden of diet related diseases, but despite diverse recommendations and actions the intake of the nutrients sodium (Na), saturated fatty acids (SFA) and sugar is still too high in most European countries.
