5. National or regional statutory regulation
Mandatory regulation of food advertising through any medium
Quebec: full ban on any (not just food) advertising aimed at children since 1980
Brazil: Conanda Resolution — established criteria for marketing aimed at children & adolescents, prohibits “abusive publicity”… apparently implementation has been challenging. First case heard in March 2016, ruled that “married sales” to children are prohibited under the resolution (“married sales” = promotions in which food product is advertised alongside toy/other desirable object for children)
Peru: “It is reported that industry compliance is poor and that industry is waiting for the publication of the full implementation regulations (in addition to the technical parameters)”
