In response to the report "A Commitment to Health" published by the British Retail Consortium Alex Callaghan, Policy Officer at the British Heart Foundation (BHF) said: "Whilst food retailers have made some efforts to help consumers make healthy choices, on the key issue of food labelling, they are still resisting change.
