New Food Issue 3 2021

We’re seeing a peculiar trend for both indulgent and healthy snacks, but in light of the recent UK Government announcements on foods high in fat, salt and sugar (HFSS) will healthy treats prevail?

A HFSS product is determined by a nutrient profiling model whereby foods are given a score based on how much fat, salt, sugar protein, fruit, etc, they contain. It was originally developed to vet products that were being advertised in shows aimed at children; however, with new HFSS legislation coming into force next year around in-store placement and multi-buys, plus the imminent total online ban, its purpose has been expanded.

In New Food Issue 3 2021 read about the possible consequences of the HFSS advertising and promotions bans in the UK, plus so much more! Included in this edition:
