Wales Proposes Ban on Free Drink Refills to Promote Healthier Choices

Consultation launched to restrict promotions on high-fat, high-sugar foods and drinks in an effort to combat obesity

The Welsh government aims to prohibit free refills of sugary drinks in restaurants and cafés.
Proposals include banning multi-buy offers on unhealthy food products.
Restrictions would also apply to product placements in stores and online.
Public consultation feedback is open until September 23, with potential implementation in 2025.
Critics argue the measures represent excessive government intervention.
