Strict rules on junk food ads

JUNK food advertising will be banned from billboards, train stations and transport owned by the Queensland Government.

In a move aimed at helping Queenslanders make healthier choices, the ban will apply to outdoor spaces and other sites, excluding stadiums.

Queensland Health Minister Steven Miles says change won’t be seen in big sporting venues for a number of years due to complexities with contracts. Foods will be ruled in or out based on their salt, sugar and fat content.
