Conclusion
We were unconvinced by the evidence we received from the supermarkets regarding their concerns about the updated nutrient profiling model. The NPM underpins all the government’s regulatory action to prevent obesity, yet the version of the model being used is now nearly 22 years old. Though a new model was developed in 2018, eight years have now passed and that model is still to be implemented. The length of time between the creation of the model and its implementation is concerning and leaves important regulation built on out-of-date scientific advice. (Conclusion, Paragraph 13)
