ADPH add voice to call on retailers

Last weekend, the Government announced a second delay to restrictions on multi-buy promotions on high fat, sugar and salt food and drink.

Today, we have joined over 30 other health organisations urging the UK’s food and drink retailers to honour the restrictions, despite the Government’s U-turn.

The letter urges all retailers to do the right thing for children’s health, and not allow the Government’s hesitation to erode or divert efforts to phase out multi-buy promotions on high fat, salt and sugar (HFSS) products by October 2023.

The letter (available here) acknowledges that the retailers will have been working with suppliers and manufacturers to prepare for the introduction of the new regulations.
