Dogus added: “Most takeaway restaurants are small, independent businesses who face a confusing array of complex guidance and are unsure about where to start.

“Meanwhile, 42% see increased demand for healthier menu options being a key challenge over the next two years.

“Supporting these businesses, especially at a time when they face real financial pressures, such as rising rents, business rates and skills shortages, will ensure they can continue to thrive whilst doing their bit to promote healthy eating.”

In addition, BTC is asking the government to recognise to work with the agency by offering a free online calorie calculator to enable takeaways to provide nutritional information to customers.
