英垃圾食品禁“買一送一”

The UK will ban "buy one get one free" promotions for food high in fat, sugar or salt and free refills of sugary soft drinks in restaurants beginning in April 2022, the government said on Monday, its latest step in its plan to tackle obesity and improve public health.

英國政府12月28日表示，從2022年4月起，政府將禁止針對高脂肪、高糖和高鹽食品推出的“買一送一”促銷活動，餐館不允許再對含糖飲料提供免費續杯，這是英國政府爲解決肥胖問題、改善公衆健康邁出的新的一步。

The government said obesity is one of Britain's biggest long-term public health problems, with almost two-thirds of adults in England overweight and one in three children leaving primary school overweight or obese.

英政府稱，肥胖已經成爲英國最嚴重的公衆長期健康問題之一，英格蘭近2/3的成年人超重，1/3的小學畢業生面臨超重或肥胖問題。

The measures also will restrict where in a store promotions on such products can be advertised, and unhealthy promotions will not be allowed at checkouts, shop entrances or at the end of aisles.

此次出臺的措施中還包括限制垃圾食品促銷廣告在商店的擺放位置，禁止在收銀臺、入口處和過道盡頭對垃圾食品進行促銷。
