Soft drink makers promise to stop targeting children
Soft drinks makers in Europe yesterday agreed to stop targeting children under the age of 12 in advertising campaigns as part of a series of measures to help prevent obesity among young people.
Members of the Union of European Beverages Associations (Unesda) such as Cadbury Schweppes, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo drew up a voluntary code of conduct which also includes commitments to stop direct commercial activity in primary schools and offer more low-calorie drinks.
