This bill would adjust how grocery market oversight works by setting out provisions for the Groceries Code Adjudicator and requiring closer cooperation with the Agricultural Supply Chain Adjudicator. It also covers rules on how public sector buyers should handle British food products and plans to improve the labelling of food items. In short, it aims to strengthen oversight of the groceries market, boost coordination across food supply chains, and improve procurement and information for consumers.
The bill is currently at the 2nd reading in the House of Commons, following its 1st reading on 19 March 2025. If it progresses, it would move to detailed examination in committee stage.
