HFSS: The effects on brands, retailers and consumers, one year on
Start Date:Thursday, November 16, 2023
Start Time:11:00 AM GMT (London)
Duration:45 minutes
Abstract:
It was hailed as a landmark moment for UK grocery.
When restrictions on products high in fat, sugar and salt (HFSS) came into force in October 2022, store design, ranging and merchandising changed overnight. Brands scrambled to overhaul their promotional and marketing strategies, and many invested millions in reformulating their products. Shoppers had to make sense of new product locations and wide-ranging changes to the in-store environment.
But, one year on, what impact have the new rules really had?
To mark the one-year anniversary of HFSS, we are bringing together a panel of experts from the worlds of retail, brands and consumer insights to reflect on the impact of the new rules over the past year and look ahead to what comes next. Who are the winners and losers? What are the lessons learned? And, with further HFSS restrictions now delayed, what’s likely to be next for the health agenda?
Our panel will delve into what has and hasn’t worked, analyse the impact of HFSS on category sales and shopper behaviour, and discuss how responsible brands and retailers can support consumers’ health in the post-HFSS era while continuing to offer choice. Plus, you’ll get the chance to put your questions to our panel.
