There are calls for a new food tax to be introduced after officials said it could improve the health of the nation. The tax could raise up to £3.4 billion per year for the Treasury and should be introduced in a 2024 Finance Bill, the report recommends. However, if introduced it will cause the price of some food items, such as value jams and junk food, to soar. The Sugar and Salt Reformulation Tax is a world first and National Food Strategy say some of the money could be used to expand free school meals and support the diets of those living in the most deprived neighbourhoods.

The National Food Strategy calls for the introduction of the world’s first Sugar and Salt Reformulation Tax, with some of the money being used to expand free school meals and support the diets of those living in the most deprived neighbourhoods.
A £3 per kg tax on sugar and a £6 per kg tax on salt sold for use in processed foods or in restaurants and catering businesses would incentivise manufacturers to reformulate their recipes or reduce their portion sizes, the report says.
