The State of the Nation's Food Industry report 2025
This year's State of the Nation’s Food Industry report shows that we cannot continue to leave progress on healthy and sustainable sales to the market.
Healthy and sustainable food remains unavailable and unaffordable for far too many. Commercial organisations, some acting in bad faith, continue to disproportionately influence food policymaking – creating an environment where fear of industry pushback has stymied the ambitious policymaking so urgently needed to reform our food system.
Our latest report focuses on 12 metrics and benchmarks 37 companies against a range of criteria to assess who is leading the way and what more needs to be done to help fix our unsustainable, unhealthy and unfair food system.
Key findings
69% of train station food outlets visited offered no fruit at all and 85% had no vegetable snacks.
Over two thirds (71%) of food marketing cues on the world’s most popular videogame livestreaming platform are for unhealthy food and drinks.
1.4 million (43.5%) of food sector workers are paid below the Real Living Wage.
Corporate lobbying is rife, with 10 times as many food industry meetings with ministers than NGOs in the first year of the new Government.
