The Food and Drink Federation's five-point proposal calls, among other things, for a Government promise that there will be no more nutrient taxes.
Food industry trade organisation the Food and Drink Federation has produced a 'manifesto' of the five policies it wants the next Government to prioritise during the Brexit negotiations.
The priorities include:
- Securing a smooth transition and avoiding a 'cliff edge';
- Recognising that tackling obesity requires a mix of approaches -- so the industry wants a promise that there will be no further nutrient taxes;
- Boosting exports;
- Fostering 'home-grown' talent;
- An industrial strategy that will drive 'transformational' growth
