PRESS RELEASE

Responding to the introduction of new product placement legislation, Julian Hunt, FDF's Director of Communications, says:

“We have not pushed for the introduction of paid-for product placement in TV programmes and we are concerned that, in response to lobbying by broadcasters, Ministers are now proposing to create a complex two-tier regulatory system for food and drink products. If Government is keen to introduce paid-for product placement, why not use the UK's existing strict system of advertising regulations?
