Industry leaders have slammed the Labour Party?s new plans to tackle the obesity crisis, claiming they would set back work to improve the nutritional values of UK food by years.
Shadow health secretary Andy Burnham said the party would legislate against ?shocking? levels of sugar, salt and fat in products, many of which were aimed at children.
He plans to ditch the government?s Responsibility Deal approach if Labour comes to power and is to launch a consultation on how to tackle obesity, making clear he favours regulation rather than voluntary agreements.
