There is "strong concern from supermarkets" about the Welsh Government's plans to limit promotions on high fat, sugar and salt foods. It is hoped the plans will help to tackle Wales' growing obesity crisis.
The Welsh Government announced on Tuesday that it is planning on introducing new legislation which would ban certain foods from the following areas: meal deals, volume promotion, and temporary promotions. The plans will also prevent certain foods from being displayed in certain places in a super market, such as the end of aisles, island bins and near the checkouts. You can read about the plans and the reasons behind them in detail here.
An industry body representing supermarkets said it was the "wrong time to do it" with inflation at a massive high, saying it would force up the cost for consumers.
