The supermarket will be banned from displaying unhealthy snacks near Tills or next year on the homepage of their website, following plans to deal with narrowly approved obesity approved by the Cended.

The new rules mean that junk foods, including pizza, chocolate and grains, have to be removed from the end of the entrances and corridors of the shop, while the sugar drinks refills and some purchases-one-one-one-free deals will also end.

The sanctions are aimed at preventing buying impulse at major sales locations in businesses with 50 or more employees, with shops they were found to be violated to face a fine.

Health Secretary Jeremy Miles said that the rules, which would be applicable in March 2026, will help in “dealing with the growing obesity of Wales”.

People specialized in small shops and one product – such as sweet shops and chocolateors – will be exempted.

Restrictions are part of a comprehensive program of measuresOther products, including encouraging manufacturers to modify the materials.

The complete list of foods that are “most concern for childhood obesity”, and therefore will not be allowed in major sales areas, they are:

  • Soft drink
  • Chocolate
  • Sweet
  • Cake
  • ice cream
  • Breakfast pastry
  • Pudding
  • Sweet biscuits
  • Cereal
  • Curd
  • Milk based drinks with added sugar
  • Juice-based drinks with additional sugar
  • Pizza
  • Crisp and charming snacks
  • Prepared food
  • Processed meat products like burgers, chicken nuggets, braided chicken/fish
  • Chips and other potato products

This week after a vote on the proposals in SenedD, who saw him going through 24 votes just 25 votes, Mr. Miles said that the move would “have a significant impact on our nation’s health for the years to come”.

He said, “We want to make it easy for people to make healthy options and we will get it by improving the food environment around them.”

“If we ensure that healthy food and drinks are more available, are accessible and visible to people in shops and shops, it will support our efforts to reduce obesity rates and improve public health.”

There were rules Proposed in a consultation last year And those people mirror Granted in England since 2022,

Reacting to restrictions, Susan Leach from Rondada Sinon TAF described it as a positive result.

Ms. Leach said, “I think there are no things in the show in front of the supermarket, it’s a good thing, to remove temptation for people, and I think we all need to be healthy.”

But Ashley Evans said that he disagrees with the result, as they say that people should be allowed to like themselves what they eat.

“All this is about the nani kingdom. It is about all people who are telling us what we should do and what we should not do,” said Mr. Evans.

“We should like our own.

“How are they morally moral parents?”

Director of Health Improvement in Public Health Wales, Dr. Julie Bishop said it welcomes the law, but it is just a step in the “detailed tasks” required to achieve changes.

Dr. Bishop said in a statement that the diet is becoming a major cause of poor health in Wales, which is creating demand on NHS.

“Our environment shapes the options that we make, and are asking people to take more personal responsibility or there is more willpower, not the answer,” he said.

“It is important research evidence to show that the way food is presented and deployed in shops has an impact on the options we make and we can spend more on things that we do not need.

“This law is about giving more options to the customer, it will help leveling the playground between the consumer and the retailer.”

James Evans MS, Welsh Orthodox Health and Social Care Representative, described the rules as a “nanny state rubbish”.

He said, “Keer stormer has promised to reduce the cost of life and for the working people, welsh labor has suit even after Welsh Labor,” he said.

“Welsh conservatives believe in personal responsibility. Efforts to deal with obesity should be focused on providing assistance to the ground level sports clubs, increasing the amount of sports played in schools and encouraging more people to become activated – not forcibly raising the price of the weekly shop.”

Mabon AP GWYNFOR, Plaid Cymru’s health representative, warned of obesity locations on health and care services “heavy pressure”, but accused the ministers of offering “half a solution”.

“The stick is useful,” he said. “But you also need carrots. The rules are therefore completely insufficient.”

He said that “there was little expansion on how the policy would be implemented” and said that the public would see it as “the government once again prevents people from doing things”.

But Miles hit back on the allegations, lack of public engagement, saying that proposals were subject to two 12-week advice.

An expert dietist for NHS, Sinad Quirke welcomed the move, but described obesity as “extremely complex and multi -faceted”.

“So we need to see it as a step of a big, big ladder to climb it in Wales,” he told BBC Radio Wells Breakfast.

He said that consumers were “organized” to buy a sandwich, a bag of crisp and a drink as part of the food deal, and that it was “important” to break it.

“We need to help people to make healthy choices the cheapest option and the easiest option,” he said.
