29 Feb 2024 --- Leading food and beverage manufacturers in the UK dispute the outcomes of a report published by the youth activist movement Bite Back, which concludes that “the majority of global food manufacturers are reliant on selling unhealthy products in the UK.” It bases this conclusion on an analysis by the University of Oxford of the 2022 offer of the country’s ten largest global F&B businesses. Bite Back’s report concludes that products high in fat, sugar or salt (HFSS) make up at least two-thirds of packaged food and drink sales for seven of the investigated companies. The organization calls for a food system where companies are held to higher standards.
