The buy-one-get-one-free ban, which formed part of the anti-obesity strategy, has already been pushed back to October 2023, and the latest deferral is likely to dismay health campaigners.
A ban on two-for-one junk food deals is to be delayed by the government for a further two years in the face of the cost of living crisis.has deferred again the planned ban on multi-buy promotions on products high in fat, sugar or salt to avoid restricting consumer options while prices remain high.already been pushed backIt has now been put on hold until October 2025 while the government continues to review the impact it would have on shoppers and businesses, Downing Street said.
The move is likely to further dismay health campaigners, who have already accused the government of"delaying and dithering".The measure has been welcomed by the Association of Convenience Stores which said it would help customers who are"facing enough challenges with inflation without legislation like this further increasing shopping bills".
Mr Sunak said:"I firmly believe in people's right to choose - and at a time when household budgets are under continuing pressure from the global rise in food prices, it is not fair for government to restrict the options available to consumers on their weekly shop. "It is right that we consider carefully the impact on consumers and businesses, while ensuring we're striking the balance with our important mission to reduce obesity and help people live healthier lives."
