09 Jan 2020 --- Online grocery platforms are adopting harmful digital marketing tactics that mirror those seen in brick-and-mortar stores that undermine healthy eating. This is according to a new report from the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), which scanned six US retailers’ promotions, pricing, placement and delivery. Meanwhile, shoppers in the UK may also struggle to make positive choices, with a new survey from Action on Salt revealing that very high salt levels in bacon points to a lack of progress made by the food industry in meeting voluntary salt reduction targets. Both organizations highlight that manufacturers could play a larger part in providing healthy options, while retailers also have a significant role to play in empowering consumers to make good choices.
