Unhealthy deals set to be curbed

TESCO and Sainsbury’s have committed to the original UK Government deadlines to change how unhealthy foods are promoted in their stores, despite legislation being pushed back by a year.

Tesco said it will remove multi-buy promotions for foods which are high in fat, sugar or salt by the end of October.

Changes to these promotions, such as buy-one-get-one-free, were due to go ahead this year but are now expected to be pushed back to October 2023.
