The constraints extend beyond chocolates, soft drinks, sweets and potato chips to pastries, breakfast cereals, pizzas, ready meals and battered products, such as breaded chicken and fish. Unhealthy promotions will no longer be allowed in "key locations," such as checkout counters, store entrances and at the end of aisles. Free refills of sugary soft drinks in restaurants will also be banned. The new measures will ensure that "the healthy choice is the easy choice," Public Health Minister Jo Churchill said in the statement. "Creating an environment which helps everyone eat healthier foods more regularly is crucial to improving the health of the nation," she added.
