Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the progress of individual companies in meeting the 2024 salt reduction targets will be published in the 2022 update on those targets.

The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities monitors the food industry’s progress towards achieving the 2024 salt reduction targets. The first report on the food industry’s progress is expected later in 2022, which will include analysis of industry progress at sector and individual business level. Options will be considered should a continued voluntary approach demonstrate insufficient progress by 2024.
