The health of the nation is substantially dependent on the availability of healthy and nutritious food. And while the National Food Service (NFS) represents a serious effort to improve food availability and quality, it still only provides for a small minority of overall food consumption.
What the Healthy Food Levy (HFL) does is fund the introduction of UK Nutrient Profiling Model (NPM) to set standards for the nutritional content of food available through all channels. And the levy restores the **Food Standards Authority (FSA) **power to ensure high UK food standards and safety, clears inspection backlogs, and completes the Brexit food inspection regime as originally intended.
The HFL enables healthy living by introducing standards that allow consumers to have useful information about their food choices, and for society to recoup some of the costs of the most unhealthy foods.
