5. Highlights - Hearing on food safety risks linked to energy drink consumption in minors - Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety

   

   On 3 December, ENVI will hold a hearing on the food safety risks linked to energy drink consumption in minors.

   
   

   The hearing follows up on a Report from Foodwatch, which finds that companies use social media, gaming, merchandise and sports sponsorships to market energy drinks to minors. These products often contain large amounts of caffeine that can cause health problems for children. Some Member States have already imposed age restrictions on energy drinks. The report will be presented by Foodwatch, followed by two discussion panels with experts. The first panel will focus assess scientific evidence behind the risks linked to energy drink consumption in minors. The second panel will consider possible actions from a food safety policy perspective. The Commission is also invited to participate.
