The UK Labour party, led by Wes Streeting, is pledging to ban the sale of high-caffeine energy drinks to children under 16. This move aims to protect children's health by restricting access to products labeled as 'not suitable for children.' The proposal has garnered support from parents and public health organizations, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding children's well-being. The ban is part of Labour's broader Child Health Action Plan, which includes measures to support teachers and parents in promoting healthier choices for children.
