MARS FOOD will categorize its products into two types and provide customers with relevant recommendations. One part of the products, according to the recommendation, can be consumed daily, the other - only occasionally During the Uncle Ben's brand competition, December 9, 2015

The maker of the popular Dolmio and Uncle Ben's sauces, Mars Food, will divide its products into two types: one it recommends to use daily, the other only occasionally. According to The Telegraph, this is how the company meets the UK government's program to take care of the healthy nutrition of citizens.

The recommendation to eat select Dolmio and Uncle Ben's products once a week is part of Mars Food's healthy eating program.

The company is reducing the amount of SUGAR and SALT in a number of products, as well as increasing the use of whole grains. Products that require high levels of sugar and salt to maintain their "true" taste will be recommended in moderation.

Mars Food President Fiona Dawson said the company has developed "very high" standards for its food products after guidance from the government and the World HEALTH Organization.

“We want our consumers to understand the difference between “every day” foods and those that should be consumed as part of a balanced diet,” Dawson said.
