SGK wants to restrict potato chips advertising for children
The Federal Council should be able to restrict advertising for chips or candy aimed at children. This is the proposal put forward by the National Council's Health Commission (SGK).
When discussing the Foodstuffs Act, the committee voted in favor of a corresponding regulation, deviating from the Federal Council's proposals. The decision was made by 14 votes to 9 with one abstention, as reported by the parliamentary services on Friday.
The Federal Council should be able to restrict food advertising aimed at children if it contains many nutrients such as saturated fatty acids, sugar or salt that are problematic for health. The Commission states that it has based its decision on the voluntary commitment of companies in the food industry. (SDA)
