Restricting promotions of food and drink high in fat, sugar or salt

The Scottish Government consulted on its proposals to restrict promotions on food and drink high in fat, sugar and salt. The RCPE generally supports the proposals as it considers that these promotions can lead to overconsumption of calories and obesity. As well as measures to prevent the promotion of unhealthy foods, the RCPE is calling for the Scottish Government to focus on support for the positive promotion of healthy foods so that these are accessible to all.
