Too much of the food we are sold has unnecessarily high levels of salt and sugars, putting increasing numbers of people at risk of developing potentially fatal heart conditions, and increasing levels of obesity and tooth decay.

This process evaluation will be key to understanding potential pathways to any #oralhealth improvement & roll-out
