NNC deputy executive director Azucena Dayanghirang said that the council intends to meet with the country’s top food manufacturers and food chains to promote their nationwide plans. “We want to tell food manufacturers and the trade industry that we are advocating for reformulation,” she stated. In hopes for a fruitful collaboration, the NNC is willing to extend their assistance for food manufacturers and food chains to reformulate healthier products.

The council is pushing for a stricter and more widespread implementation of better food options. It wants to emphasize the importance of meals consisting of different food groups, including vegetables, grains, lean meat, eggs, and nuts. Proper balance and moderation must be exercised.
