The government has delayed plans to ban multibuy deals on junk food for another two years as food inflation remains high.

The ban on multibuy deals on foods and drinks high in fat, salt, or sugar (HFSS), such as “buy one get one free” or “3 for 2” deals in England, is now set to take effect in October 2025.
