About the campaign

The Children’s Food Campaign wants to improve young people’s health and well-being through:

  • Good food and real food education in every school
  • Protecting children from junk food marketing
  • Clear food labelling that everyone, including children, can understand

We believe that these ideas will help to solve the current crisis in children’s diets. Find out more
