To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of updating the Nutrient Profiling Model on incentives for food and drink manufacturers to continue reformulating products to reduce levels of sugar, salt and saturated fat.
- Answer
-
I refer the Hon. Member to the answers provided on 31 March in response to Question 120152, on 1 July in response to Question 8994, and on 7 September in response to Question 19910.
I also refer him to the final impact assessment on the proposals to restrict the promotion of less healthy food and drink products, including the costs for enforcement by Local Authority Trading Standards officers, which is available at the following link:
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2021/9780348226195/impacts
The Government continues to monitor the enforcement of these restrictions and will re-evaluate the impact on local authorities via the normal post-implementation review.
