Quezon City proudly stands as one of the distinguished 13 Policy Accelerator Cities, globally assembled in Athens, Greece.
Collaborating with ImagineLaw, the Quezon City Government spearheads the development of a groundbreaking calorie labeling policy for restaurants and food establishments. This initiative aims to foster a healthier food environment, mitigating the risks of obesity and diet-related non-communicable diseases.
This progressive policy empowers consumers to make informed choices, encouraging the selection of healthier options while dining outside the home. The Bloomberg Philanthropies, in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) and Vital Strategies, organized the Policy Accelerator Convening. This event served as a platform for Quezon City to showcase its innovative food policy implementation and fostered a robust peer-support structure among participating cities dedicated to preventing Non-Communicable Diseases.
