Rishi Sunak says it would not be fair to restrict shoppers' options during a cost-of-living crisis.
Plans to ban two-for-one junk food deals have been delayed by the government for another two years.
The delay is likely to disappoint health campaigners who have previously been critical about length of time it is taking to ban the deals. "It is right that we consider carefully the impact on consumers and businesses, while ensuring we're striking the balance with our important mission to reduce obesity and help people live healthier lives."
The ban was also previously delayed under Prime Minister Boris Johnson in May last year due to the "unprecedented global economic situation".
