Defining what food and drink would be in scope of any further advertising restrictions will be a part of our consultation. In the case of social media advertising, as with all non-broadcast media, the Committees of Advertising Practice Code already requires that advertisers use the Nutrient Profiling Model to define HFSS products.</p> more like this
