CADBURY'S DAIRY MILK LOW-SUGAR VERSION

24 July 20187 Signatures

Motion Text

That this House applauds the action taken by Mondelez, which owns Cadbury, for its commitment to tackle childhood obesity in the UK by introducing a new Cadbury's Dairy Milk bar in 2019 which will contain 30 per cent less sugar; commends the company for already introducing a 250 calorie cap on all small chocolate bars; notes that these measures constitute vital progress towards Public Health England challenging the food industry to reduce sugar levels by a fifth by 2020, or reduce the size of unhealthy products; and calls on the Government to ensure that manufacturers go further to reformulate their entire product range.
