WCRF International analysis of how this policy action can promote healthier diets and reduce obesity
This policy action is included in the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) International NOURISHING policy repository as an example of ""Nutrition label standards and regulations on the use of claims and implied claims on foods: Clearly visible ""interpretative"" labels.The government has set nutritional criteria for the use of the Keyhole logo. The aim is to help consumers choose products that contain less fat, salt and sugar. Use of the logo is voluntary, but products must conform to the nutrition criteria. In March 2014, the Norwegian government initiated a consultation on the criteria used in the Keyhole symbol.""
