Australian Association of National Advertisers hits out at South Australian ban
on unhealthy food and drink ads

Advertisements for ham and salad sandwiches will soon be banned
from buses and trains in South Australia. Here’s why.

The ban, set to come into effect from July 1, prohibits a range of junk food items from being displayed on Adelaide’s buses, trains and trams, including processed meats like ham.

Chocolate, lollies, confectionary, desserts, ice creams, soft drinks and chips will all be banned from display alongside processed meats, with the measure designed to limit children’s exposure to unhealthy food and drink advertising.

But the Australian Association of National Advertisers is up in arms about what it calls a “blanket ban”.

“As it stands, this policy bans all processed meats, which means a simple ham salad sandwich can’t be advertised.” AANA CEO Josh Faulks said.

“This simply doesn’t make sense and the government should be making evidence-based decisions, not blanket bans that don’t align with nutritional science.”

The peak body warns charities and businesses could be negatively impacted by the ban.

“The policy bans all advertising showing those banned food or drink items,” Mr Faulks said.

“For example, an ad celebrating the anniversary of a children’s charity which depicts a child with a birthday cake would be banned.

“The Tasting Australia event can no longer show images of charcuterie boards or pastries in their advertising.

“Under this policy, businesses that have nothing to do with the food or beverage industry will find advertising in South Australia harder.”

The AANA has confirmed with NewsWire it opposes all advertising bans for food and beverages.

That sandwich looks fine to me.

However -
the encouragement to eat unhealthy food comes from all directions -
just about every supermarket isle is full of products that contain:
salt, fat and sugar – in huge, unhealthy amounts.

The TV adverts are often pushing junk food.
It's no wonder that obesity and diabetes are in epidemic proportions.

have you any idea how much salt is in that Cheesy

No.

A ham sandwich typically contains a significant amount of sodium, often around 1500mg per sandwich. This can be a substantial portion of the daily recommended sodium intake. For example, a ham and cheese sandwich could contain almost a full day's worth of salt for children aged four to eight, according to the Stroke Foundation of Australia.
