This is disgusting.

A whole @CadburyUK cream egg in a @Dominos_UK cookie.

These are serious corporate food companies. What are they thinking?

The executive team, the board and the shareholders should be ashamed of themselves. I hope the executive team are ashamed.

It’s not illegal. But it’s harmful. It’ll weigh heavily on their future career prospects. And it’s disgusting. They should know better. And use their many talents to find less egregious ways to hit their targets.

Industry efforts to overturn the whole basis of nutrition measurement drop-kicked into the stands by Mr Justice Linden.
I've never read a judgement like it.
Junk food industry shd be ashamed.
Here's a few highlights. 1/🧵 Par 234. "The public health case for the approach under the 2021 Regulations is compelling and I am quite satisfied that it is both proportionate and rationale."

Wow! I've never read such a ringing endorsement of Govt policy from Benches. Junk food industry shd take note.
