Junk food suppliers have ‘shocking’ major presence at UK’s biggest school food

Tech news matters when it actually changes what people can do, not just what companies announce.

Reporting

Phys.org Medical Research reports that Junk food suppliers have 'shocking' major presence at UK's biggest school food event. As the government prepares to introduce updated school food standards, an investigation by The BMJ finds that more than a third of the firms exhibiting at the UK's biggest school food show sell products high in fat, sugar or salt (HFSS). The key issue is what changes after the announcement: price, access, timing, compatibility, reliability, or reader impact.
