In a critical step toward advancing public health and informed consumer choices, Corporate Accountability & Public Participation Africa (CAPPA Africa) is hosting a timely learning session on front-of-pack labels (FOPL). The webinar, titled “Understanding the Need for Front-of-Pack Labels (FOPL) in Nigeria,” will unpack the role of FOPL in shaping healthier food environments and addressing nutrition-related challenges in the country.
Why FOPL Matters
Front-of-pack labels provide clear, at-a-glance nutritional information—such as warnings for high sugar, salt, or fat content—helping consumers make quick, informed decisions. In Nigeria, where diet-related health issues are rising, FOPL has emerged as a vital tool to combat misinformation and promote transparency in food marketing. This session will explore how FOPL can drive policy change, empower households, and align with global best practices for food safety and health.
Expert-Led Insights
The webinar will be facilitated by two leading experts:
Bukola Olukemi-Odele, Programme Officer at CVH, bringing deep experience in public health programming.
Shade Oyelade-Osi, Legal & Policy Officer, offering critical perspectives on regulatory frameworks and policy implementation.
Together, they will discuss Nigeria’s current labeling landscape, the evidence supporting FOPL, and actionable strategies for stakeholders—from policymakers to food manufacturers—to advance this initiative.
