UK Food Manufacturers Fight New Health Rules

Food manufacturers in the UK are facing a backlash against new health regulations on sugary foods, which they claim will increase prices and deter investments. The government is considering a delay on these rules, originally set for next year, due to industry concerns about massive reformulation costs. Manufacturers have already spent millions on recipe changes, only to find that updates to less healthy food definitions render some of those changes obsolete. Leaders from the Food and Drink Federation and BRC are criticizing the complexity and cost of the new rules, which they argue are too narrow and unrealistic. Global brands are worried about shifting research and development overseas due to the new regulations. The government is considering a two-year delay and reviews of other policies to ease price pressures while maintaining healthier kids goals.
