An academic paper published in the July 2016 edition of the World Health Organisation (WHO) Bulletin reviews progress made by the industry, national governments and international organisations to implement the 2010 WHO resolution to restrict the marketing of food and non-alcoholic beverages high in fat, sugar and salt to children.

The authors – which include Tim Lobstein from the World Obesity Federation – highlight that both the industry and WHO Member States have failed to adopt or implement comprehensive restrictions on food marketing either to children or adolescents.
