England Bans High-Caffeine Energy Drinks for Teens | London News
Description
Starting April next year, England is banning the sale of high-caffeine energy drinks to anyone under sixteen—whether in stores, online, or from vending machines. With caffeine limits set at over 150mg per litre, these drinks—some packing the caffeine of four cans of cola—will be off the shelves, while regular coffee, tea, and sodas remain untouched. Driven by parental and teacher concerns over kids being “wired” from overconsumption, the government is empowering adults to say no, with trading standards enforcing the rule nationwide. Though some big chains already comply, smaller shops may lag—making this official ban a crucial step to protect youth health.
