Children’s Food Campaign asks FSA: don't expose children to even more advertising for sugary cereals and salty crisps
23/03/2009
The Children’s Food Campaign welcomed today’s recommendation to the FSA Board not to change the nutrient profiling model used to decide which foods are healthy or not.
Christine Haigh, coordinator of the Children’s Food Campaign said: "Removing the protein cap would expose children to even more advertising for sugary cereals like Nestlé Coco Shreddies and Frosted Shreddies."
She added: "There is a danger that it could become a loophole in the rules protecting children from junk food advertising that would allow through commercials during children’s TV for a range of undesirable products like Kellogg’s Chocolate Wheats, Quaker Sugar Puffs and Walker’s Cheese & Onion crisps."
"The FSA board must now agree to keep the protein cap."
Ends.
