The campaign was held as part of the efforts to create awareness among the consumers on the importance of understanding the food labels while buying food stuff as they should know the ingredients and additives used in the foodstuff and the health hazards associated with them.
The campaign is considered a move that strengthens the joint cooperation between the government and private sector. The programme team distributed a set of booklets and fliers regarding the issue and answered the queries from the consumers.
The campaign also included a general survey on the extent of public knowledge about the issue. Winners of question-answer session about the items for sale at Carrefour were given prizes.
