What counts as junk food in upcoming UK advert ban

September 13, 2024 - from the BBC:

"Online adverts for junk food will not be allowed from next year under new government rules introduced to tackle childhood obesity.

"The ban, which will also apply to adverts shown on TV before 21:00, will begin in October 2025.

"Health minister Andrew Gwynne said the restrictions will “help protect children” from advertising that evidence shows can influence their eating preferences from a young age.

"More than one in five children in England are overweight or obese by the time they start primary school, government statistics suggest. This rises to more than one in three by the time they leave."
