High-caffeine energy drinks to be banned for under-16s

High-caffeine energy drinks are to be banned for under-16s in England to prevent harm to children's health, the Government has said.

The plan will make it illegal to sell energy drinks containing more than 150mg of caffeine per litre to anyone under 16 across all retailers, including online, in shops, restaurants, cafes and vending machines.
