Åtgärder
Rekommendationerna har tagits fram efter åtta månaders analys av befintliga program samt de undersökningar och studier som gav alla partners möjlighet att ta fram praktiska riktlinjer för såväl anställda som restaurangägare och kockar. I tabellen nedan ser du ///vardagliga gester som bör bli till naturliga vanor för en mer välbalanserad mathållning.
En del av rekommendationerna gäller för samtliga sex deltagande länder och några är anpassade efter nationella särdrag. Rekommendationerna nedan presenteras land för land. Titta på och jämför rekommendationerna för de olika länderna!
