“I was opposed from the beginning and made my feelings known at the highest levels.”

“People must have the freedom to make their own decisions, which includes taking advantage of any buy one, get one free or other special offers that may be available.”

“This should be scrapped permanently, not just postponed for a year.”

“We’re committed to doing everything we can to help people live healthier lives,” said Public Health Minister Maggie Throup.

“Pаusing restrictions on buy one, get one free deаls will аllow us to better understаnd their impаct on consumers in light of the world’s unprecedented economic situаtion.”

According to the administration, the decision was made in response to worries that rising global energy and food prices will exacerbate many people’s hardships. A promised ban on unhealthy food advertisements on television before 9 p.m. has been delayed until January 2024.
