摘要

食品工业是一个不断发展的行业。食品广告是其主要的营销策略。广告中儿童接触到的大多数食品都是不健康的产品,从而促进了不健康的食品和饮料,并增加了与饮食有关的非传染性疾病的负担。因此,通过政府法规限制不健康食品广告对于促进公众健康是必要的。目的:分析斯里兰卡的主要食品广告法,并将其与其他国家司法管辖区的食品广告相关法律进行比较方法:对斯里兰卡食品广告相关法律进行了案头审查,随后对其他九个国家司法管辖区的食品广告法进行了比较审查。结果:斯里兰卡没有单一的广告法,大多数关于食品广告的法律规定被合并到标签法规中。与其他司法管辖区相比,斯里兰卡对食品广告的定义较窄,监管制度对广告的时间没有严格限制;目标是斯里兰卡集团;广告食品类型;广告内容;还有健康信息。该法律还缺乏一套全面的执法方案。结论与建议:与全球其他司法管辖区相比,斯里兰卡食品广告条例对儿童不健康食品营销的限制较弱。建议政府根据1980年《食品法》颁布单独的《食品(广告)条例》,其中包括关于广告时间的规定;目标群体;广告食品类型;健康信息;并采取处罚和警告等执法措施,同时还修订了现有的狭义食品广告定义。

A Comparative Doctrinal Analysis of Food Advertisement Laws in Sri Lanka with Selected Jurisdictions
Introduction: The food industry is an ever-growing industry. Food advertising is its main marketing strategy. The majority of food that advertising the children are exposed to is unhealthy products, thus promoting unhealthy food and beverages and contributing to an increase in the burden of diet-related noncommunicable diseases. Therefore, restrictions on unhealthy food advertisements via government regulations are necessary to promote public health. Objectives: To analyses the main food advertisement law in Sri Lanka and compares it to laws relevant to food advertising in other national jurisdictions Methods: A desk review of laws associated with food advertisements in Sri Lanka was conducted, followed by a comparative review of food advertisement laws in nine other national jurisdictions. Results: Sri Lanka does not have a single advertisement law, and most legal provisions on food advertising are merged into labelling regulations. When compared to other jurisdictions, Sri Lankan definition of food advertisement is narrow, and the regulatory regime does not have strict restrictions on the timing of advertising; target Sri Lankan group; type of food advertised; content of advertising; and health messages. The law also lacks a comprehensive suite of enforcement options. Conclusions & Recommendations: Sri Lankan Food Advertising Regulations contain weak restrictions on unhealthy food marketing to children when compared to other jurisdictions globally. It is recommended that the government should publish separate Food (Advertising) Regulations under the Food Act of 1980 which would include provisions on the timing of advertising; target group; type of food advertised; health messages; and enforcement measures such as penalties and warnings, while also revising the existing narrow definition of food advertisement.
