Spain to regulate food advertising to kids

In Spain over twenty companies have signed an agreement for the autoregulation of food advertising targeting the youth market.

The “Codigo Paos” is composed by 25 norms which, among the others, prohibit the use of celebrities as testimonials for food ads.
