Conclusion
If the government is really committed to this policy and in future decides to set targets as a result, those targets are meaningless unless accompanied by a strict enforcement regime for ensuring companies meet targets. This could be overseen by the Food Standards Agency, with, for example, penalties on a sliding scale that could include fines and we would encourage government to use such revenue to make healthy food cheaper.
