A pledge by food manufacturers to cut saturated fat levels is a "drop in the ocean" in the fight against obesity, a top public health expert says.

The commitment is part of the voluntary "responsibility deal" between industry and government.

But Prof John Ashton, president of the Faculty of Public Health, said the approach "lacked credibility".

Among those who will change recipes are Morrisons, Subway and Nestle - who are to alter the make-up of KitKats.
