Recommendation 19

19 Paragraph: 79

Require mandatory public health metrics reporting and urgent research on ultra-processed foods

Conclusion
The Government has set out three actions that could help encourage healthier eating. On mandatory public reporting against a set of health metrics, this should become a requirement within the next six months. Further research on ultra-processed foods as a contributor to over consumption of higher calorie foods should commence at once and at pace, with the findings reported to the Committee within 12 months of the publication of this Report.
