Additional tax on ultra-processed foods (UPF) to help promote farm fresh produce
Implement an additional tax on UPFs of 10-20%, rising to 20-40% with higher levels of salt, fat or sugar. Fully ringfence this revenue to fund provision of affordable fresh produce, working with farmers and growers to provide fresh food to local shops. We think this would help end fresh food deserts
