Chocolate giant Mars has announced it will bring a range of healthier sweets on the market next month in a bid to tackle obesity.
Promotional deals for snacks that are high in fat, sugar and salt (HFSS) in stores may be restricted in the future, with food companies bracing themselves for the change. Medium and large businesses, including those with 50 or more employees, will have to phase out their offering of multi-buy promotions such as "buy one get one free" or "three for two" offers on HFSS products.
Less healthy promotions would also no longer be featured in key locations, such as checkouts, store entrances, aisle ends and their online equivalents in the proposed changes. Free refills of sugary soft drinks would also be prohibited in the eating-out sector.
The new products from Mars, which will consist of new editions of Snickers, Bounty, Mars and Galaxy bars, are set to hit the shelves in early June. The sweets, made of date paste, raisins and peanuts and covered in chocolate, will only be available at Tesco stores for the time being.
