Get your voice heard on calorie labelling on menus in Wales

The Welsh government wants to know what you think of calories on menus and whether you think calorie labelling on menus should be introduced across Wales. They’ve created a consultation questionnaire for you to share your views. So, now’s your chance to speak up.

There are two versions of the consultation, a shorter, easy read version and a longer, more detailed version. Here’s what you need to know about both:

Short, easy read version

• There are 17 questions
• You don’t have to answer all questions.
• There are 8 questions about calories on menus. These are: 7-11, 14, 16 & 18
• You can save and return - don’t forget to set yourself a reminder to go back and submit!
• Something to note! Use the ‘Why?’ box in question 11 to share any ideas you have for how the impact on those with eating disorders could be limited if calorie labelling becomes the law.
• It will take between 10 and 45 minutes to complete depending on the length of your responses. Including evidence or examples of your experiences will be really helpful!
• Consultation closes 1st September 2022.
• We’d love to hear how you responded to the consultation.  If you are happy to share your response, please drop us a line! campaigning@beateatingdisorders.org.uk
