This Bill would require the government to set targets for the sugar content in foods and drinks. It would also require added sugar to be shown on labels as the number of teaspoonfuls, and it would introduce standards for how sugar information is presented in advertising.
The Bill is currently at the Second Reading in the House of Commons. If it progresses, it would move to detailed scrutiny in Committee stage.
