Scotland implements new restrictions on high-sugar and high-fat food displays

Scottish supermarkets must now remove products high in fat, sugar, and salt from prominent locations like aisle ends and checkout areas. The new regulations aim to curb the promotion of unhealthy food items. The legislation targets specific categories of food and drink deemed to have poor nutritional profiles. Despite these restrictions on placement, meal deals remain exempt from the new rules and will continue to be sold as currently configured. Market participants will monitor the impact of these display limitations on retail sales volumes for affected food categories.
