Voluntary Codes of Practice for advertising of food and non-alcoholic beverages

Non-broadcast media is defined as all forms of digital media, out of home media, print media and cinema. The overarching objective of the codes is to reduce exposure of the Irish population to marketing initiatives relating to foods that are high in fat, sugar and/or salt (HFSS foods) identified using the Nutrient Profile model used by the Broadcast Authority of Ireland. The codes were developed by a multi-sector group and sit alongside and complement other measures in place in Ireland, including the Advertising Standards Authority For Ireland (ASAI) Code of Standards for Advertising and Marketing Communications

School Fruit, Vegetables and Milk Scheme

"Applicable since 1 August 2017, the EU school fruit, vegetables and milk scheme combines two previous schemes (the school fruit and vegetables scheme and the school milk scheme) under a single legal framework for more efficiency and an enhanced focus on health and educational. The scheme supports the distribution of products, educational measures and information measures. The scheme supports the distribution of fruit, vegetables, milk and certain milk products to schoolchildren, from nursery to secondary school. EU countries approve a list of products (in collaboration with their health and nutrition authorities) which will help achieve the schemes objective of helping children to follow a healthy diet. Priority is for fresh fruit and vegetables and for plain milk. In order to support a varied diet and/or specific nutritional needs, EU countries may also make processed fruit and vegetables such as juices and soups and certain milk products such as yoghurt and cheese, available. Additionally, under stricter conditions, milk-based drinks may be included." - EU Commission
