Producers and importers are also required to display clear and prominent health warnings on all packaging.

The decision imposes a comprehensive ban on all forms of commercial advertising and sponsorships related to energy drinks, reports Al-Rai daily.

It further prohibits their sale and distribution in government institutions and agencies, as well as in public and private educational institutions at all levels, including schools, institutes and universities.

In addition, the sale and distribution of energy drinks are banned in restaurants, cafés, grocery stores, food trucks, sports clubs, and through self-service vending machines.

The decision also prohibits sales via external ordering and delivery platforms, and regulates permitted product types and sizes.
