Soft Drinks Industry Levy

Contribution

My Lords, I will follow up on the question from the noble Baroness, Lady Bennett of Manor Castle, about the regulation of foods for babies and toddlers. Is the Minister aware that some of the fruit and vegetable pouches marketed for babies from four months onwards—despite the advice that they should not be weaned until they are six months old—contain more sugar per 100 millilitres than Coca-Cola? Some toddlers’ teeth are being rotted as they emerge from their gums. When will the Minister take action on this?
