It’s Time To Say FSS Out of Home Campaign #NoToUpsizing 1 – 30 June 2018

Food Standards is launching a new healthier eating campaign aimed at encouraging improved eating behaviours when out and about, by empowering the people of Scotland to say no thanks to offers of upsizing.

Upsizing refers to going large, adding sides or extras and taking meal deals – it’s causing people to eat and drink unnecessary extra calories, sugar and fat, in many cases without even thinking about it.

Around 45% of Scots don’t think about the extra calories or impact on their health from upsizing: going large, buying meal deals or adding sides and extras. The campaign highlights that these additions and extras we are adding to our daily routines aren’t needed, and we can all benefit from just saying no to offers of better deals more regularly.

We’re looking for your support to empower people in Scotland to say no thanks to upsizing.

Did you know… upsizing from a cheeseburger to a meal deal with a regular fries and fizzy drink can add an extra +454 calories

upsizing from a small popcorn to a large at the cinema: +689 calories

adding a piece of chocolate brownie to a coffee: +346 calories

adding a side order of onion rings: +234 calories
