Norway to ban unhealthy food adverts aimed at kids. The junk food rules will come into force at the start of next year when a ban on the sale of energy drinks to people under the age of 16 will also be introduced. ๐Ÿ‘Œ just-food.com/news/norway-toโ€ฆ

Disappointing to see yet another food policy delay with multi-buy restrictions now not coming in until Oct 2025. What would help families during the #CostOfLivingCrisis? Offers on healthy and staple food, rather than foods high in fat, sugar and salt. gov.uk/government/newโ€ฆ

Time flies! It was a pleasure to host Nienke from Maastricht University at The Centre for Economics of Obesity and Health Economics Unit, Birmingham for the past 3 months, who was working on her MSc thesis about mental health care use of people living with obesity. Couldnโ€™t be more proud and excited for what the future holds for you!

๐Ÿšฉ 97% of snacks marketed at babies & toddlers feature a nutritional/health claim on the front of packaging despite often being high in sugar. The Govt must act to regulate the marketing & composition of such foods, as states our #BrokenPlate report. ๐Ÿ”— bit.ly/43TmVlb

So, @ohid asked the Scientific Advisory Committe on Nutrition (SACN) to write a position statement on processed foods and health, which is out today: gov.uk/government/pubโ€ฆ It's worth a look (if you're interested in this sort of thing - seems a lot of people are...)
