The British Heart Foundation's report emphasizes the urgent need for mandatory front-of-pack labelling on food products, likening it to the packaging of cigarettes to improve public health outcomes.
By imposing new taxes on salty and sugary products, the British Heart Foundation believes we could avert 2 million cases of chronic disease and generate funds to reinvest back into health initiatives.
The BHF highlights a concerning trend: more individuals under 75 are dying from heart-related issues than at any time in the past 14 years, outlining the dire need for effective prevention measures.
The charity insists that government recommendations are insufficient, advocating for regulations that would compel the food industry to produce healthier options with lower salt and sugar content.
