Scotland to restrict junk food displays in supermarkets

Original: No more cereal at the end of the aisle? New rules in Scotland's supermarkets https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cmwyzye

New Scottish rules are set to change how supermarkets lay out their stores, restricting the promotion of unhealthy foods in high-visibility spots like aisle ends, where products such as cereal are commonly displayed. The measure aims to tackle obesity by reducing impulse purchases of food high in fat, sugar or salt, and retailers will have to rethink long-standing merchandising practices.

Why now: The rules will visibly change shoppers' everyday supermarket experience, prompting debate over public health versus retail practice.
