answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2017 answer text <p>There has been no assessment made of the effect of Food and Drink Federation members’ compliance or non-compliance in achieving the 20% reduction in sugar content of key products contributing to children’s intakes by 2020 on childhood obesity or childhood tooth decay.</p><p> </p><p>In ‘Sugar reduction: The evidence for action’, published in October 2015, Public Health England (PHE) undertook modelling work to estimate the potential health impact and wider economic benefits of achieving the average population intake recommendation for sugar. This modelling found that achieving this over a 10-year period would result in 4,100 premature deaths and 204,000 cases of dental caries being averted, resulting in a total cost saving to the National Health Service of £484 million.</p><p> </p><p>PHE encourages all businesses to achieve the reductions in sugar as set out in ‘Childhood obesity: a plan for action’. A detailed assessment of industry’s progress will be published in March 2018.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 04/07/2017 11:13:15 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
