High-caffeine energy drinks to be banned for under-16s

High-caffeine energy drinks will be banned for under-16s in England to prevent harm to children’s health, the Government has said.

Health and Social Care Secretary Wes Streeting said eight out of 10 parents wanted to see a ban on the sale of high caffeine energy drinks to children.

The Government has launched a 12-week consultation on the issue and plans to implement the change as soon as it can.
