NOTE to Parents

In Mauritius many processed foods are imported. A number of these processed imported foods are high in salt, sugar and oil/fat and have more than one layer of packaging materials. Processing also involves high cost and pollution due to transportation and storage. Consumption of these highly processed foods are harmful to our health as well as the environment. They tend to come with more packaging materials, thus increasing solid waste production. Healthy local foods, on the other hand, are better for our health and the environment. They are less likely to contribute to solid waste pollution.
