Less Healthy Food And Drink Advertising Restrictions

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport and Department of Health and Social Care are implementing restrictions on advertising and promotions of food and drink high in fat, sugar, and salt, using the 2018 Nutrient Profiling Model to identify less healthy products. The policy covers advertising restrictions by location and price, with exemptions for brand advertising under consideration. The Sugar in Food and Drinks Bill is the primary legislative vehicle, currently in active development with government responses to public consultation completed.
