The world's top 25 food companies have not taken significant action to improve diets despite their claims, according to a new report published.

 

An audit by City University, London, of the top 10 food manufacturers, top 10 food retailers and top five food service companies, compared what they have done against the strategy agreed by the World Health Organisation to tackle obesity and other diet-related diseases.

 

It finds that only a handful are acting on excess fat and sugar in the diet and only 10 are tackling salt levels.
