Plan for Profit is to launch a tool to help independent retailers prepare for the High Fat Sugar & Salt (HFSS) legislation.
From October 2022, the government is introducing new regulations will reduce the availability of products high in fat, sugar and salt through restrictions around promotion and placement in stores. Regulations in Wales and Scotland are being reviewed.
Retailers can access the tool via the Plan for Profit website or by visiting www.hfssproductcheck.co.uk. The website offers retailers support and advice on what stores are affected, what HFSS really means, and most importantly which product lines are affected. Retailers can search for skus from a database of HFSS applicable product categories to identify which of their stocked lines are HFSS compliant, as well as those that are impacted so they can make an informed decision about potential changes to their product offering.
Tracey Redfearn, Plan for Profit Controller, said: “The Plan for Profit HFSS product check tool allows retailers to identify which of their stocked lines are HFSS compliant, as well as those that are impacted so they can make an informed decision about potential changes to their product range.”
The tool will be available from mid-September through Plan for Profit and here.
