New government, new opportunity? The importance of driving action on reformulating food to improve public health
Future Health is delighted to publish a pamphlet with the Recipe for Change Campaign on the political barriers and opportunities to reformulating unhealthy food in order help us achieve the healthiest generation of children ever. The pamphlet was authored by Future Health Programme Director, Richard Sloggett.
The Recipe for Change campaign calls for a new industry levy to help make our food healthier, while raising revenue that can be invested back into children’s health. Such a levy could be applied to all salt and sugar used in manufactured food and catering, or applied to specific product categories only. It has the potential to have wide-ranging health and economic benefits by improving the nation’s health and reducing cases of preventable diet-related disease such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and various cancers.
