Book Description
The annual progress report monitors global progress towards the 2023 target for global elimination of industrially produced trans-fatty acids (TFA), highlighting achievements from the past year; and discusses challenges and opportunities for future action. This is the third progress report that WHO is publishing following the first and second reports which were published in 2019 and 2020. In 2018, WHO called for the global elimination of industrially produced TFA by 2023. Since then, countries are responding to this call to action, building global momentum around TFA elimination.

Book Description
The policy brief on “Reformulation of food and beverage products for healthier diets” is intended to set out in a readily accessible form the rationale for its area of action, synthesize the existing evidence base, highlight lessons from country experience and summarize available policy guidance. The brief addresses reformulation of highly processed foods and beverages that are energy-dense and nutrient-poor which have become cheaper, intensively marketed and more widely available. Too many people are consuming large amounts of food and beverage products high in energy, unhealthy fats, sugars and salt/sodium. Such products contribute to unhealthy diets and measures are required to eliminate industrially produced trans-fatty acids (TFA) from the food supply and to reduce the energy content per portion as well as lower the levels of saturated fats, sugars and salt/sodium in food. By driving wide-scale reformulation of foods and beverages, governments can help to ensure access to safe, sustainable and healthier diets.

Book Description
This detailed and comprehensive study examines nutrition and health in the World Health Organization (WHO) Eastern Mediterranean Region, presenting the six game-changing food systems actions proposed by the WHO and the progress of their implementation in the region. The WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region is a particularly complex place to study: an area of economic contrasts with changing dietary patterns and stark differences between high levels of malnutrition and a prevalence of overweight and obesity. As a result, actions to improve the nutritional situation of the population are urgently sought. The strategies explored in this book offer a unique opportunity to change food systems all over the world, addressing aspects including sustainable food production, the impact of marketing and labelling on behaviour, and the effect of global events such as climate change, war and the COVID-19 pandemic. Reshaping Food Systems is an essential read at a time when malnutrition in all its forms, including undernourishment, micronutrient deficiencies and overweight and obesity, pose a serious threat to global health, and is of particular interest for policymakers working in nutrition and public health.
