Suggested Messages

• I’m supporting @WASHSALT #SugarAwarenessWeek 2023! Sugar is added to so many foods and drinks and, globally, we are eating too much sugar as a result. The food and drink industry must act now to protect health https://www.worldactiononsalt.com/awarenessweek/sugar-awareness-week/sugar-awareness-week-2023/

• Send out a brief overview of the week to Non-Governmental Organisations and journalists to advertise the week

Press release
