If you're considering opening a new takeaway in Blaenau Gwent, you might want to think about a few things first. Wales has some of the highest rates of childhood obesity in Europe. One recent report shows that many of these outlets fail to wear masks when they're inside. This could lead to a heightened risk of food poisoning. Here are a few tips to get your business off the ground and keep it that way.
First, let's look at the breakdown of types of food outlets in the area. Blaenau Gwent has the highest proportion of fast-food outlets, with 55 outlets. This compares to the UK average of 34%. Fast-food outlets in Wales have grown by 48% between 2010 and 2018, more than twice as fast as the overall increase in the UK. According to obesity specialist Prof Nadim Haboubi, this trend is "a disease" for communities.
