Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the 10-year Health Plan, when he plans to publish the healthy food standard.

As set out in the 10-Year Health Plan, we will take decisive action on the obesity crisis, easing the strain on our National Health Service and creating the healthiest generation of children ever. The plan committed to introducing mandatory healthy food sales reporting for all large companies in the food sector before the end of this Parliament as well as targets to increase the healthiness of sales in all communities.

To fulfil this commitment, the Government is working towards a Spring 2026 public consultation on Healthier Food Targets and Reporting.

Decisions on policy proposals and implementation will be taken following consultation.
