- Huge news! 🥳 The Government is back from recess with a bang, as Health Secretary Wes Streeting announces sales of energy drinks to under-16s to be BANNED 🙌🏼
- Our young activists constantly share stories of how energy drinks, and their enticing marketing, show up in their lives — even becoming ’the social currency of the playground’ 😤. Check out Carrera sharing her experience in the BBC! 👉🏼 bbc.in/4mTRVvc
- The accessibility and marketing of energy drinks are a well-oiled cog in a food system that is set up to fool us all, and we’re not having it. That’s why we welcome this announcement and will be making our voices as loud as possible in the Government’s consultation. Are you with us?
