PHONE-IN 
The Scottish government is consulting on banning 'meal deals' that contain foods that are high in fat, sugar or salt.   
Ministers are considering a number of options including restricting specific foods from 'meal deals' or only allowing one item per meal deal that is high in fat, sugar or salt.  Ministers are currently consulting on policies to restrict the promotion of such food and drinks. The Scottish Government is considering targeting promotions including "multi-buys, temporary price reductions, meal deals and positioning restrictions, such as at checkouts and front of store". A 'meal deal' is defined by the Scottish Government as "an offer of a discounted price for multiple items promoted as intended to be consumed together as, or as part of, a meal by one, or by two or more people. Examples include lunchtime meal deals and dine in offers."
