  • Table of Stakeholder Engagement June 2018 to February 2019
    Table of stakeholder engagement June 2018 to February 2019 The table below shows stakeholder engagement with the reduction and reformulation programmes covered by Public Health England (PHE) between June 2018 and February 2019. This engagement covers, for example, attendance at the calorie reduction stakeholder forums in October 2018 and subsequent business 1:1’s, discussions on baby food reformulation, and meetings with the eating out of home sector that had not yet engaged with the reduction and reformulation programme. It is our understanding that many stakeholders are working towards achieving the aims and ambitions of the programmes but would not have necessarily had direct engagement with PHE during this timeframe. The programmes are at different stages and this is reflected in the level and focus of engagement with businesses and wider stakeholders in the table below. For example, given the sugar reduction programme is established, work on sugar reduction did not form the focus of PHE’s engagement during the time frame covered here and instead PHE concentrated on engaging stakeholders most relevant to programmes that are at an earlier stage of development (for example, calorie reduction, baby food reformulation) and/or with industry sectors where engagement is more mixed. Although every effort has been taken for this table to be comprehensive there may be some instances where this has not been possible. 1 Calorie reduction Sugar reduction Baby food reformulation Out of home business engagement1 2 Retailers Aldi Stores Limited ✓ Asda Stores Limited ✓ ✓ Co-operative Food ✓ J Sainsbury plc ✓ ✓ Lidl UK ✓ ✓ Marks & Spencer plc ✓ SPAR UK ✓ Tesco Stores Limited ✓ Waitrose ✓ Wilko ✓ WM Morrison Supermarkets plc ✓ Manufacturers Allied Bakeries ✓ Associated British Foods plc ✓ Babease Baby Plan ✓ Bear Nibbles ✓ CSM Bakery Solutions ✓ Danone ✓ Delifrance (UK) Limited ✓ Dr.
