The NCC works to achieve better food and health policies, which help consumers make healthier choices more easily. We also work to reduce the impact that food has on the environment, by promoting seaonality and through our annual report on supermarkets' environmental credentials.

We continue to support the devlopment of front-of-pack 'signpost' nutrition labelling and the work of the Food Standards Agency to develop a consistent, industry-wide approach. We also support: the establishment of food category targets for salt, fat and sugar reductions; and the monitoring of food company progress towards achieving these targets.

Green grocers?

Our latest report on supermarkets and the environment. Since the last report in 2006, we have seen commitments from a number of supermarkets on issues ranging from unnecessary packaging to new 'green' labelling schemes for products, such as carbon labelling and aeroplane stickers on airfreighted goods. There have alse been impovements in our ratings.

However, no supermarket did well across all our indicators.
