Best Practices for Carbon-Labeled Menus
✔️ Make carbon labels clear & visible - place them next to each dish using recognisable icons (A–E scale, colour-coded).
✔️ Include a key to explain the system - add a short description at the bottom explaining what the carbon ratings mean.
✔️ Use a QR code for more information - link to a page explaining how food carbon labelling works.
