UK bans junk food ads on daytime TV, online

Junk food adverts are banned on television and online starting today as part of a drive to tackle childhood obesity.

Axar.az informs, citing BBC, the UK-wide ban stops food and drinks high in fat, salt and sugar (HFSS) being advertised on TV before 21:00 and at any time online.

It applies to products considered to be the biggest drivers of childhood obesity, including soft drinks, chocolates and sweets, pizzas and ice creams.

The Food and Drink Federation (FDF) said it is committed to helping people eat healthily and has been voluntarily abiding by the new restrictions since October.
