Poland: Ban on Sale of Energy Drinks to People Under 18
On January 1, 2024, new regulations will come into force in Poland, prohibiting the sale of energy drinks to people under 18 years of age. The regulations also prohibit the sale of these drinks at schools and other educational units, as well as in vending machines. The amendment to the Act imposes an obligation on producers or importers of energy drinks to include on the packaging of these drinks visible, legible, and permanent information with the wording "energy drink". U.S. exporters are advised to work closely with Polish importers to ensure compliance with the new regulation.
