Expand FSA food traffic lights to show: (1) presence of artificial additives such as sweeteners, preservatives, colours and flavours; (2) level of food processing using the NOVA 1–4 scale, with 4 = ultra-processed (red). This could give citizens clearer, quicker health information at a glance.

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
Require Disclosure of All Pesticide Residues and Processing Aids on Food Labels
All residues and processing aids used at any stage of the food production and supply chain must be clearly and fully disclosed to consumers on product labelling, including the amount of agents used during farming, processing, preservation, or packaging that remain in or on the final food product.
Mandate information about added sugars on nutritional food labels
Require food manufacturers to list added sugars separately from total sugars on nutrition labels to help consumers to more accurately track their intake and align with the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition's 5% free-sugar guideline.
