San Francisco on Verge of Requiring Warnings on Soda Ads
Posted in: Uncategorized
San Francisco will likely soon require health warnings on soda ads, representing a defeat for beverage marketers that have fought such rules.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted unanimously for the warning on Tuesday. The Associated Press reported that “it’s believed that San Francisco would be the first place in the country to require such a warning on ads for soda if it receives a second approval from the Board of Supervisors next week and the mayor does not veto it.”
The rules would cover sugary sodas like Coke but not apply to low and no-calorie offerings like Coke Zero, according to the AP, which noted that the rules would also apply to other beverges such as sports and energy drinks that exceed a 25-calorie limit.
