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

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.

Junk food TV and online advert ban comes into force

Soft drinks, chocolate, pizzas and ice creams will be targeted in the UK government's plan.

'Overdag reclame maken voor junkfood verboden in het Verenigd Koninkrijk'

"Reclame voor eten waar veel vet, suiker en zout in zit, is in het Verenigd Koninkrijk sinds vandaag verboden. Op tv mag tussen 05.30 en 21.00 uur geen reclame voor junkfood meer te zien zijn en online is het helemaal niet meer toegestaan."

"Volgens de Britse overheid heeft reclame voor junkfood invloed op wat kinderen eten. Hun voorkeuren worden daardoor op jonge leeftijd al gevormd waardoor het risico op overgewicht en andere gerelateerde ziektes toeneemt. Een op de drie basisschoolkinderen in het VK heeft overgewicht of obesitas."
