Action on Additives

We campaign to reduce additives such as colourings, flavourings and sweeteners in foods, drinks and medicines, particularly for pregnant women and children.

Great coverage of @LivingLoudUK and how they're learning from food industry advertising and applying it to healhy eating. Keep up the good work! https://t.co/C3XbTAxnXY

"Perhaps the question is not how to limit the snacks our kids eat but rather how to teach them to understand and like good food." Great advice from parents themselves! https://t.co/GrAWYBPDs4

I co-authored a new study on the amount of #sugar, energy and #caffeine in sugar-sweetened drinks marketed and consumed as energy drinks in the UK between 2015 & 2017: monitoring #reformulation progress @actiononsugar @BMJ_Open #energydrinks https://t.co/JNt5iMbvEK

Food prices rise again putting healthy eating further out of reach for low income families. This is why @DefraGovUK must track household food insecurity.

Today @sugarsmartuk handed in a letter to @CocaCola_GB asking them to offer water as part of #CokeTruck and not hand samples to under 16s. Also handed a letter to @TheO2 asking them to be more #sugarsmart in what their venue promotes to families.

Campaigning works > Kellogg’s would not be reducing sugar or tweaking marketing practices without pressure. Possibility of Govt action to tackle junk food marketing & encourage reformulation is scaring companies into doing just enough that they hope might take the heat off.

A ban on junk food advertising to children up to the watershed makes sense because advertising works https://t.co/fl6XNJ51Ml

Listen @LiamFox - you may think #ChlorineChicken is a “detail” but antibiotic resistance simply isn’t. This is deadly serious. You mustn’t trade away our #foodstandards or superbugs will surely follow. @ASOAntibiotics @UKSustain @SoilAssociation @ciwf @lawrencefelic @SheilaDillon https://t.co/N7RO2KjhPh

My statement in the @HuffPostUKPol feature on US #farmantibiotic use: “All food and trade policy must reinforce international efforts to reduce antibiotic use, not create new markets for farmers – such as those in the US – who are using much more than they should.” @UKSustain https://t.co/N7RO2KjhPh

Disappointing to see @RNOHnhs taking funding from SMA (Nestle) for a health professional update on vitamin D. WHA res 69.9 urges everyone to implement WHO guidance that sponsorship of meetings of health professionals by companies selling foods for infants should not be allowed.
