The Ministry of Health and Consumption and the Spanish Federation of the Food and Drinks Industries (Federación Española de Industrias de la Alimentación y Bebidas, FIAB), to which the SOS Group belongs, have signed an agreement by which the companies represented by FIAB commit themselves to take measures in order to confront problems of diet in Spanish society.

This agreement falls within the Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity prevention Strategy (Nutrición, Actividad Física y prevención de la Obesidad, NAOS) prepared by the Ministry of Health and Consumption through the Spanish Agency for Food Safety (Agencia Española de Seguridad Alimentaria, AESA). This strategy has the following purposes:

Puedes comer todos los alimentos que te gustan, sin necesidad de prescindir de ninguno, siempre que sea en cantidades razonables. He aquí algunos ejemplos de raciones moderadas: 100 g de carne, una fruta de tamaño medio, media taza de pasta en crudo y 50 ml. de helado. Las comidas precocinadas constituyen una forma muy práctica de controlar las raciones, a menudo aparece indicado en al etiqueta el valor energético para ayudar a quienes cuentan las calorías. Cuando comes fuera comparte una ración con un amigo.
