It’s been another busy week on The Grocer!

The biggest bombshell was the confirmation that the DHSC plans to update the nutrient profiling model that is used to classify HFSS products. That will mean potentially hundreds of further brands will be restricted from advertising and promoting their products – including brands that have invested millions in reformulation. It’s going to cause an almighty row with the government and, as I argue in my leader this week, the distraction it will cause is a big shame because without question the new Defra team is on a mission.
