High intakes of salt, sugars, total and saturated fats have been linked with higher prevalence of various non-communicable diseases; their intake in adults across Europe is above recommended levels.

According to WHO, ‘reformulation policies for healthier food and beverage products’ is a key tool to tackle unhealthy diets. To monitor food reformulation, there needs to be a systematic collection of data across EU countries, available to key stakeholders; however, such a systematic approach does not exist.

FABLE aims to close this information gap by making data, collected on branded food and beverages through EU-funded projects, publicly available for researchers, policy makers and the public. Users are able to interact with, explore and visualise data in an easy way. This will allow for the public monitoring of the food supply across the EU and of the reformulation efforts of the food industry.
