Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether her Department plans to evaluate the effect of the online advertising restrictions introduced in January 2026 before extending the 2018 Nutrient Profiling Model to those restrictions.

Initial assessments of the impact of the existing restrictions on the advertising and promotion of less healthy food and drink products were included in the consultation published in March. The consultation exercise also invited stakeholders to contribute their own views and evidence on the impact of the existing restrictions to help inform any decision to apply the new Nutrient Profiling Model to them. The Government is carefully considering the responses to that consultation prior to taking any decisions on next steps.
