Health committee What was the basis for trying to reduce...? Could you repeat the question?
February 26th, 2007Committee meeting
Karen Tonks
Health committee Yes, really, it was. We don't have anything like the heart smart guide. We don't have an overall position of what is healthy. We have something that's called the balanced plate, which looks at the proportion of carbohydrates and fruit and vegetables that you have in your overall diet, but on a product basis there's nothing that says this is what a healthy food is.

Health committee My understanding is that you wanted about five or so minutes for me to tell you some of the background and then an opportunity to ask questions.

Health committee First of all, perhaps I can introduce myself. My name is Karen Tonks, as you said. I'm the company nutritionist for Tesco. I don't know how much you know about Tesco as a retailer in the U.K. We are the largest; we have some 800 stores across the U.K., but we also have stores in central Europe, Asia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Japan, and we've just announced we'll be opening stores in California as well, on the west coast of the United States, so we're global in that respect.
