Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to Public Health England's Salt reduction targets for 2024, published in September 2020, when he expects a report on the food industry’s progress towards meeting those targets to be published.

The salt reduction strand of the Government’s voluntary reformulation programme continues, with monitoring data being collected and industry encouraged to continue to work towards meeting the 2024 targets. There is currently no confirmed publication date for the report on the food industry’s progress but it is not expected until next year. An update will be provided in due course.
