If you’re going food shopping this weekend, you may notice some changes at your supermarket as new rules come into force.
The Department of Health and Social Care has confirmed that limits on where unhealthy food can be placed in shops will be introduced across England on October 1. These new restrictions mean that products high in fat, salt or sugar can no longer be displayed in prominent locations such as at store entrances, aisle ends and checkouts.
The rules will also be enforced on the equivalent high-traffic spots on food shopping websites. The move is part of the Government’s commitment to reduce obesity levels and could be followed by further measures next year, WalesOnline reports .
