The percentage of workers within the whole economy, the whole food sector, and each food industry sector earning the minimum wage or the RLW in 2021 was assessed. [...] For the whole economy and the whole food sector the percentage of workers defined as paid at or below the minimum wage, and the percentage earning below the RLW, was also assessed for each year from 2012 to 2021. [...] The difference in the total number of products surveyed each year is likely a result of; new product development, a change in product packaging which falls in or out of scope of the inclusion criteria, and availability in-store and online at the time of data collection. [...] The average height in centimetres for children measured in the 2020 to 2021 NCMP will be higher than previous year’s as the majority of measurements were taken towards the end of the academic year; the average age of children measured will be higher and children will be taller compared to the beginning of the academic year. [...] Note that the trajectory was not included in 2019’s Broken Plate report but was published later as part of the Food Foundation’s response to the Department of Health and Social Care’s Green Paper Advancing our health: prevention in the 2020s, outlining the government’s planned approach for prevention of the major preventable health problems facing people in the UK.
