Calorie limits will be imposed on thousands of foods sold in supermarkets and restaurants in a bid to combat obesity.
Draft proposals seen by The Telegraph set out detailed caps for ready meals, sandwiches and even portions of vegetables served across the country.
The plans, drawn up by Public Health England (PHE), suggest a limit of 544 calories for any convenience meal - far below many of those sold today
Sandwiches and main meal salads would be capped at 550 calories, with a limit of 951 calories for restaurant main courses, and varying limits for other specific foods depending on where they are consumed.
