UK Government proposes energy drinks ban for children

The government has launched an open consultation to seek views on a proposed ban on selling energy drinks to children.

It also seeks views on:

  • What products should be included in any restrictions
  • What age limit a ban should apply to
  • Whether sales of energy drinks from vending machines should be restricted
  • Whether there are any changes that would be more appropriate than a ban on sales to children or that could be applied as well as a ban

The closing date for submissions is 21 November 2018.
