The Government introduces new regulations that impact display space for high fat, salt, and sugar (HFSS) food products from October 2022. Other areas of the regulations impacting on HFSS promotions were delayed by the Government in May 2022. The impact on retailers and brands operations, product development and bottom line is sweeping. It requires significant change on the shop floor.
There are few precedents for this monumental change, few to emulate, and no user guide. Launching a conversation to maximise the HFSS opportunity, our industry discussion paper reveals a collaboration between manufacturers and retailers is crucial. There can be no lone actors in the reimagination of the food store of the future.
You can hear the opinions on HFSS from industry experts in our short videos considering the impact on non-impacted and impacted brands, and also retailers.
We want to engage with manufacturers and retailers to develop a ‘Store of the Future Playbook’ which stimulates ideas about how the industry can adapt and transform. We have created an example of a store of the future to encourage discussion and explore opportunities. Our flythrough gives retailers and manufacturers a glimpse of what is possible.
Could these sweeping changes represent an opportunity to reimagine how food stores and brands engage with consumers?
Share your views about the future food store and help shape our Playbook that we will open up to all.
"For non-impacted manufacturers, there is now a whole new world of opportunity as they can take space vacated by HFSS products at the front of stores, on aisle-ends and checkouts. "
