Last update: 7 hours agoFood Labels: UK food labelling may leave shoppers unaware of unhealthy products: a study found front-of-pack traffic lights identified just 48.2% of products classed as unhealthy, compared with more than 98% of ultra-processed foods under the Eatwell Guide measure. Sunbed Safety: Advertising watchdog CAP is cracking down on sunbed claims that beds are safe or treat health conditions, warning that such claims could downplay cancer risks and deter people from seeking medical advice.

The Post Office says 90% of retailers’ payment-disruption plans do not include cash as a backup. Pet-care Costs: A new UK platform lists more than 6,800 veterinary practices and offers price comparisons and booking, amid concerns that pet owners struggle to compare treatment costs and practice credentials.
