Surprising Foods Banned in UK's New Junk Food Ad Restrictions

The UK Government has announced a ban on advertising certain 'unhealthy' foods on TV before 9pm, starting in October next year, to combat childhood obesity and excessive sugar consumption. The ban includes soft drinks, breakfast pastries, certain cereals, ice cream, cakes, confectionery, biscuits, savory snacks, desserts, processed potatoes, ready meals, sweetened yogurts, and pizza. The initiative aims to prevent health issues in children and reduce NHS costs by promoting healthier choices.
