The current regulations only apply to England. 

A pre-packaged product consists of a food and the packaging into which it was put before being offered for sale with the packaging enclosing the food in such a way that the contents cannot be altered without opening or changing the packaging. Prepacked food does not cover foods packed on the sales premises at the consumer’s request or prepacked for direct sale

If a shop mainly sells food from a single category, then they are exempt from physical location restrictions.

An Island unit is distinguished by not having a prominent end where food could be displayed (typically it would be square or circular in shape) and not marking a main customer route through the store. Please see Annex C image 3 of the Government’s implementation guidance here.

Yes. Serving or queuing areas associated with food concessions selling food for immediate consumption can be excluded from relevant floorspace calculations as this area is primarily used for sale of food intended for immediate consumption. The floor area for queuing or serving customers should be clearly marked either in stores or on store floorplans

This type of offer would be in scope of the regulations and banned. This is because the regulations restrict volume promotion of HFSS products even if they are alongside a non-prepacked food product, non-food products or loyalty points. As the coffee is a non-prepacked food product being put with a HFSS product it would be in scope of the regulations.

Frozen food can be impacted by the HFSS regulations. A frozen food product is deemed HFSS based on its nutritional profiling score. Retailers should consult with their suppliers to find out this information.

The current regulations states that businesses in scope must not place HFSS products in scope at 'covered external areas'. The regulations define a covered area as an area outside and connected to a store's main shopping area, through which the public passes to enter the main shopping area e.g., foyer, lobby, or vestibule.

Yes, the regulations do not cover images of products in store.

It is important to recognise that the restrictions apply to products, not brands, meaning that a brand’s product range may have products in and out of scope of the restrictions. Retailers should ask their suppliers for more information about which of their products are in scope.

Food and drink product types that are exempt from the restrictions include non-prepacked or prepacked for direct sale food and drink, and prepacked food products sold by a qualifying business that score less than 4 and prepacked drink products that score less than 1 under the nutrient profiling model 2004 to 2005, in accordance with the nutrient profiling technical guidance 2011.

A seller is only allowed to display an in scope HFSS products on their home page on a signpost to the section the product is from. This must not contain a direct option to buy display such as an 'add to basket icon'. The image of the HFSS product displayed must not be more prominent that other similar signposting pictures.
