The subject of food marketing to children has been widely debated, so the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare gathered researchers, policy makers and the commercial sector to discuss the latest findings of the topic. Participants gave their point of view and evaluated further the current situation regarding food and drink marketing for children and the youth.
The Chamber of Commerce has also introduced a newly founded board for implementing voluntary guidelines to regulate food marketing. The main task of the board is to evaluate, encourage and give advice for self-regulation for the food industry sector.
