Energy drinks to be banned from sale to under-16s in England
About 100,000 children across the country drink the high-caffeine beverages daily
High-caffeine energy drinks “have no place in children’s hands” and will be banned from sale to under-16s in England from April next year under new laws designed to improve health outcomes in young people.
About 100,000 children across the country currently drink high-caffeine energy drinks daily, with those in more deprived areas and households more likely to consume them, according to the government.
