Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have a definition of “junk food” for the purposes of policy making; and if so, what that definition is.

The Government has published its intention to restrict the promotion and advertising of foods high in fat, salt and sugar (HFSS). The consultations on these policies set out proposals for the definitions of HFSS products. We have listened carefully to the feedback and will be setting out final definitions for the products these policies apply to when we publish the responses to the consultations. We will do this as soon as possible.
