The campaign group ‘Recipe for Change’ is calling on the UK government to introduce a unhealthy food levy to protect children from high sugar and fat foods.
It comes following the success of the ‘Soft Drinks Industry Levy’, also known as sugar tax, which implented extra taxes onto high sugar drinks.
The propsed levy will tax low nutrition, high sugar and fat foods to dissuade buyers in an attempt to promote healthy eating.
The campaign group have seen success on this issue in the past with the ban on fast food advertising before 9pm on TV.
