England's new ban on high-caffeine energy drinks aims to protect young minds from harmful effects.
Buying a can of high-caffeine energy drink could soon become impossible for children under 16 in England, as the British government moves to introduce one of its toughest child health measures yet.
The government announced on Thursday that, subject to parliamentary approval, the sale of energy drinks containing more than 150 milligrams of caffeine per litre will be banned for anyone under the age of 16 from April next year.
The restriction will apply to supermarkets, convenience stores, cafés, restaurants, vending machines and online retailers.
The upcoming ban on high-caffeine energy drinks for under-16s is a vital step in promoting healthier choices and protecting young minds.
