FAST food and takeaway outlets are the target of a new drive to promote healthy eating launched by Croydon Council.
The Eat Well Croydon campaign has been launched by the council to invite food businesses to come forward and demonstrate they offer healthy menu choices as well as healthier cooking methods.
Those complying with the qualifying criteria will receive an Eat Well Healthier Catering Award certificate and sticker which they can display to customers.
To qualify they must meet a number of criteria for healthier cooking practices and have a food hygiene rating of three or above.
Councillor Louisa Woodley, cabinet member for people and communities, said: "Our campaign is about reducing child and adult obesity, which can lead to serious and life-threatening conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer."
