German junk food advertising to children continues

A German study has found that despite a voluntary EU pledge by the food industry, most foods advertised to kids in Germany did not meet WHO nutritional criteria.

The study, by German pressure group Foodwatch tested 281 products and found only 29 met WHO criteria of nutritionally balanced foods. Support Sustain's Children's Food Campaign.
