Processed Food monitoring and reformulation
Best-ReMaP aims to share and promote best practices on how to implement a sustainable European monitoring system for processed food reformulation; to provide data for identifying best formulations and room for reformulation; and to provide data to establish, evaluate and adapt nutrition policies. For more info, see https://bestremap.eu/monitoring.
Food marketing
Best-ReMaP aims to identify, develop and share best policy practices to reduce exposure of children to the marketing of unhealthy foods; to develop harmonised protocols and tools to monitor the extent and nature of marketing exposure of children; and to support Member States with the implementation of the new EU rules on audiovisual media services. For more info, see https://bestremap.eu/marketing/.
Procurement of nutritious food in public institutions
Best-ReMaP aims to support the establishment of an intersectoral working group in the participating Member States; to increase the overall understanding, knowledge and skills regarding public procurement of food/food products in selected public institutions; to enable more choice of quality foodstuffs for balanced menus in selected public institutions; and to recommend further institutionalised implementation of the public procurement procedures for quality foods across EU states.
