Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential link between the consumption of ready-made meals and heart disease.
Public Health England has advised that it has not made any assessment of the potential link between the consumption of ready-made meals and heart disease, and that attributing disease to particular foods would be difficult due to the range of factors that play a part in causing the development of diet-related diseases.
