Swansea MP calls for clearer sugar content labelling

Swansea West MP Geraint Davies has called for food manufacturers to display how many spoons of sugar a product contains in a bid to cut obesity.

Geraint Davies pointed to the situation in Wales, saying one in four children are obese or overweight.

Tim Rycroft, of the Food and Drink Federation, called it "a bad idea", saying obesity stemmed from excess calories which do not only come from sugar.
