Tesco to support healthy, sustainable diets
Tesco has set out new plans to help customers eat more healthily, and to make Tesco the easiest place for customers to shop for affordable, healthy, sustainable food.
The supermarket’s plans between now and 2025 will include a major new programme of reformulation to improve the health profile of products; changes to promotions and pricing to remove barriers to buying healthy food; and a further expansion of Tesco’s market-leading plant-based ranges, with new products that will make plant protein even more accessible to families.
Progress against these plans will be reported publicly, underpinned by new targets to increase the proportion of sales of healthy food, and to make products healthier.

The existential threat to online HFSS advertising has been looming since July. The threat has become more real over the past six weeks, with the deliberately very short consultation period coming to a close at 11.59pm on 22 December. The government’s likely response will be to further tighten regulation of HFSS advertising.
One in every three primary-aged children is obese. And right now, that is as good a reason as any to do something about it.
It’s easy to say there will be no impact on reducing obesity from our ivory towers, but children in lower-income brackets are the most exposed group to HFSS advertising. They’re more likely to experience a far higher calorie reduction than their well-heeled peers. And given they have a lower life expectancy, I don’t think the ban is such a bad thing.
