A/HRC/26/31 (d) Adopt, implement and enforce easy-to-understand labelling and nutritional profiling requirements, such as “traffic light” labelling; (e) Encourage TNCs, through incentives and other fiscal measures, to manufacture and sell healthier alternatives of foods and beverages that are not harmful to the people’s health; (f) Regulate the marketing, advertisement and promotion of unhealthy foods, particularly to women and children, to reduce their visibility and to increase the visibility of healthier options by, for instance, requiring supermarkets to place fruits and vegetables in more accessible and visible places. 65. With a view to ensuring their obligation to realize the right to health of vulnerable groups such as children, women and low-income groups, the Special Rapporteur recommends that States take the following steps: (a) Address gender stereotypes in preparation of meals that place an unequal burden of cooking on women; (b) Formulate and implement health education programmes to promote healthy food options in such institutional settings as schools, health or youth centres and workplaces by involving children, parents and employees, respectively; (c) Ensure that social welfare schemes for low-income groups make relevant information available and provide access to healthier food options to eliminate “food deserts”. 66. Recognizing the role of the food industry in the growing burden of NCDs, the Special Rapporteur recommends that the food industry take the following steps: (a) Adopt internationally acceptable nutritional labelling guidelines and comply with domestically-enacted guidelines in this respect; (b) Refrain from marketing, promoting and advertising of unhealthy foods to the population, especially to children; (c) Invest in improving the nutritional content of unhealthy foods; (d) Increase transparency of nutritional information on food products, while desisting from making false and misleading health claims; (e) Abstain from undermining public health nutrition efforts, including through such means as funding and publicizing biased research, instituting front groups and conducting expensive and onerous litigation. 67. With a view to making accountability and remedial mechanisms available and accessible to victims of violations, the Special Rapporteur recommends that States take the following steps: (a) Ensure that international investment and trade agreements are entered into with full transparency and participation of affected groups by conducting open discussions before, during and after negotiation of the agreements; (b) Encourage and promote independent monitoring of activities of the State and the food industry. Urge participation of affected people and local communities in monitoring such activities; (c) Ensure remedies through legislation and appropriate mechanisms against States and non-State actors for failure to take steps towards their obligations under the right to health and to fulfil their international commitments on reduction of dietrelated NCDs. 22
