Professor Jebb is in charge of the government’s responsibility deal, a series of voluntary pledges by industry aimed at tackling health problems such as obesity and alcohol abuse.

She warned that fruit juice should not be counted as one of your five-a-day portions of fruit as many juices because of its high sugar content.
