The EU Commission has presented a comprehensive plan to combat cardiovascular disease that focuses on reducing smoking and unhealthy diets. These diseases remain the leading cause of death in the EU, with 1.7 million deaths every year. The Commission plans to reduce tobacco consumption to less than five percent of the adult population by 2040, which will be achieved by revising EU tobacco legislation.
Another focus is to combat highly processed foods that are high in fat, sugar and salt. Although specific measures are still being examined, financial incentives could play a role. Children and young people in particular should be protected by measures against harmful advertising. A new rating system for food processing aims to provide consumers with transparent and science-based information.
Experts such as Stefan Blankenberg, President of the German Society for Cardiology, welcome the EU Commission’s plans. He emphasizes the need for political support and financial resources for preventive programs. Kiran Virmani from the German Nutrition Society also advocates reducing the intake of unhealthy foods and suggests measures such as a sugar tax and reducing VAT on healthy foods.
The proposed measures could have far-reaching impacts on the European food industry and retail sector. Companies may be forced to adapt their product ranges to meet the new standards. At the same time, there are opportunities for innovations in the area of healthy foods. The EU Commission hopes that these measures will not only improve the health of the population, but also reduce healthcare costs in the long term.
