The eagerly awaited House of Lords Committee on Food, Diet and Obesity report has landed today.   The Investor Coalition on Food Policy gave oral and written evidence to the enquiry and we are delighted to see our recommendations feature heavily in the report, including:   - To make a decisive shift away from voluntary measures, to make it mandatory for large food businesses to report on the healthiness of their sales. - To reshape the incentives for the food industry through a coherent, long-term set of policy interventions, including considering an extension of the Soft Drinks industry levy to cover sugar and salt.  - The need for a whole-government approach to deliver a long-term food strategy, with support at the highest level.
