This is a very interesting subject matter. In terms of ultra-processed foods, there has been much commentary in relation to processed foods that are high in salt, saturates and so forth. There is commentary that these foods should be labelled. I know that in some countries in South America they are labelled with distinctive labels in terms of these ultra-processed foods. Would the witnesses consider that some of these foods that are ultra-processed and not particularly good for your health should be labelled in whatever form in Ireland? It is a general question to anybody.
