Food: Nutrients

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of changes to the Nutrient Profile Model on the availability of healthier (a) food and (b) drink products.

Answer

As set out in our 10-Year Health Plan for England: fit for the future, we will take decisive action on the obesity crisis, easing the strain on our National Health Service and creating the healthiest generation of children ever. We announced that we would update the nutrient profiling model (NPM) 2004/05, which underpins the advertising restrictions and promotion restrictions on less healthy food and drink policies so that it reflects the latest dietary recommendations.

We will consult on applying the updated NPM to these policies and will publish an impact assessment in due course.
