Health secretary Eluned Morgan says businesses would have 12 months to update product packaging before restrictions were enforced.
Drink refills could be banned in Wales, under plans currently the subject of a consultation. The regulations, if approved, would prohibit retailers from offering free refills or top-ups of sugary drinks. Multi-buy offers, such as buy-one-get-one-free, will also be prohibited under the proposals. But there will be a 12-month window for the packaging of products to be updated, before the restrictions come into force next year.
The approach would be in line with legislation in England, to ensure enforcement is 'as straightforward as possible'. The intention of the Welsh government is to put the proposals to a vote of the Senedd before the end of the year. Wales's health secretary, Eluned Morgan, said promotions were 'very effective' in influencing the food and drink people buy.
