Lidl Warns of UK Nutritional Overshoot

Lidl Warns of UK Nutritional Overshoot

The supermarket claims Britain has already exceeded its fat and sugar limits for the year.

Lidl has highlighted a concerning trend regarding the British diet, stating that the nation has already consumed too much fat and sugar for 2026. This assessment coincides with the arrival of overshoot day on Saturday 25 July.

According to a report from The Grocer, this specific date marks the point where the UK can no longer make annual progress toward targets intended to create sustainable food systems for expanding populations.
