U.K. Ponders Tax On Sugary And Salty Foods

July 15, 2021: 12:00 AM EST
A U.K. government-commissioned review says the price of sugary and salty foods should be increased to encourage food companies to make their products healthier. The extra revenue might also help physicians prescribe fruit, vegetables, and cookery classes on the NHS. As reported by the Daily Mail, the so-called "snack tax" would hike the cost of Frosties by 87p ($1.19), Mars bars by 9p ($0.12) and, across the country, families could be paying an extra £3.4 billion ($4.6 billion) a year for their groceries. The recommendations were developed by Prime Minister Boris Johnson's “food tsar” Henry Dimbleby, who founded the health-conscious fast food restaurant chain Leon.
