The country\u2019s multi-phased regulations, which began in 2016, have led to a 73% drop in children\u2019s exposure to TV ads for regulated foods and drinks (those that exceed legal thresholds for calories, sugar, salt or saturated fat) by 2019. During this time, the number of ads for unhealthy foods dropped 64% on all TV programs and 77% during children\u2019s programming. Researchers also found that 67% fewer unhealthy food ads used child-directed creative content such as cartoons, characters, toys or contests, which are also prohibited under the country\u2019s laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These and other findings from researchers at the University of Chile, Diego Portales University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill underscore both the potential and need for strict rules around marketing to build healthier eating habits. The study also highlights the importance of a key policy addition contributing to the regulations\u2019 success: The initial Law of Food Labeling and Advertising in 2016 limited child-directed creative content in any marketing and prohibited companies from placing TV ads for regulated products during programs attracting a child audience. In 2018, Chile extended this prohibition to a full \u201cdaytime\u201d ban across all TV from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. While researchers saw a decline in advertising for unhealthy foods during earlier phases of the law (in 2017 and early 2018), the significantly greater drop following the full daytime ban is noteworthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key findings:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:16px\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Total TV advertising dropped 64% for unhealthy foods and drinks (i.e., those high in calories, sugar, salt and\/or saturated fat) from 2016 (pre-regulation) to 2019, after the full 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. ban began.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:16px\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>TV advertising for unhealthy products during children\u2019s programming dropped 77%<br>from 2016 to 2019.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:16px\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Children viewed 73% fewer TV ads for regulated products in 2019 compared to 2016.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:16px\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The number of TV ads for unhealthy foods and drinks that used prohibited child-directed content (e.g., cartoon characters, prizes, games) dropped 67% from 2016 to 2019.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:16px\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For all outcomes, impacts were significantly greater after the full 6 a.m. to&nbsp;10 p.m. daytime advertising ban began in 2018 compared to earlier restrictions during children\u2019s programming, only (in 2017 and early 2018).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFocusing on child-directed ad content and child-directed programming to reduce children\u2019s exposure to unhealthy food advertising does work to an extent, based on what we\u2019ve seen in Chile, but children are simply exposed to much more than this,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalfoodresearchprogram.org\/team\/francesca-dillman-carpentier\/\">Francesca Dillman Carpentier, PhD<\/a>, W. Horace Carter Distinguished Professor at the UNC Hussman School of Journalism and Media and the study\u2019s first author. \u201cTo markedly reduce the amount of unhealthy food promotions children view, we see that it takes a bold move like Chile\u2019s 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. ban to be effective. The number of unhealthy food ads on TV, as well as kids\u2019 exposure to them, was greatly reduced after Chile added the daytime ban on these ads.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This study&#8217;s findings underscores a weakness of nearly all governmental restrictions on TV advertising for unhealthy foods worldwide: Most focus on very narrow windows of time or programming, leaving children exposed most of the day and night to targeted ads for unhealthy foods and drinks. (See below.) This study provides evidence that countries could significantly strengthen existing policies by expanding TV restrictions to complete bans. Countries considering introducing policies to regulate food marketing can also learn from the Chilean experience to protect children more effectively from ad exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalfoodresearchprogram.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TV_restrictions-1024x422.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13921\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.globalfoodresearchprogram.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TV_restrictions-1024x422.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.globalfoodresearchprogram.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TV_restrictions-350x144.png 350w, https:\/\/www.globalfoodresearchprogram.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TV_restrictions-768x316.png 768w, https:\/\/www.globalfoodresearchprogram.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TV_restrictions-1536x632.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.globalfoodresearchprogram.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TV_restrictions-2048x843.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.globalfoodresearchprogram.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TV_restrictions-1200x494.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.globalfoodresearchprogram.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TV_restrictions-42x17.png 42w, https:\/\/www.globalfoodresearchprogram.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/TV_restrictions-146x60.png 146w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Television advertising restrictions around the world.

The Law of Food Labeling and Advertising also mandated \u201cstop sign\u201d warning labels on packages for unhealthy foods and banned their sale or promotion in schools. This remains one of the most ambitious regulatory frameworks in the world aimed at tackling rising nutrition-related diseases and soaring health care costs, and many policymakers and public health advocates worldwide have been watching to gauge the policy package\u2019s effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other studies evaluating the combined effects of Chile\u2019s marketing restrictions, warning labels and school ban have yielded similarly promising results: A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelancet.com\/journals\/lanplh\/article\/PIIS2542-5196(21)00172-8\/fulltext\">study of household grocery purchases<\/a> found a 24% drop in calories purchased in the first year (during the most lax period of the law\u2019s three-phased nutritional criteria) and a 37% reduction in sodium purchased. <a href=\"https:\/\/ijbnpa.biomedcentral.com\/counter\/pdf\/10.1186\/s12966-019-0781-x.pdf\">Focus groups<\/a> indicate that parents are being encouraged by their children to avoid buying foods with warning labels.
