Shoppers may soon have to hunt for chocolate eggs as anti-obesity law dictates how and where unhealthy foods can be sold

This potent cocktail of prime retail space, extra displays and deals will spur Britons to spend some £370m on calorie-laden treats for the long weekend. But this Easter will be a last supper for supermarkets and their suppliers ahead of a clampdown on how foods that are high in fat, salt or sugar (HFSS) are sold in England.
