To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether she has had discussions with supermarkets on the potential merits of supermarkets introducing reward schemes for purchases of healthy food.
Answer
Kevin HollinrakeDecisions about reward schemes are a commercial matter, and therefore a matter for individual retailers. The ‘Good Choice’ badge helps people identify healthier options using the NHS Food Scanner app and when shopping in store and online. The app and wider Better Health tools support families on their journey towards having a healthier diet.
