The new CAP and BCAP Code rules on "less healthy" food and drink advertising came into force on 5 January 2026. Please join Lewis Silkin partners Brinsley Dresden and Becky Moore as they look back at the ASA's first year of adjudications under those rules.

The adjudications include brands from Iceland and Lidl to KFC, Domino's and Mars. We'll explore where the line falls between brand advertising and product advertising, including the "visual indistinguishability" test. We'll also look at how the ASA decides whether a product is "identifiable" in an ad and how the scheduling rules apply.

We'll finish with the key takeaways advertisers and agencies, and the practical steps you can take to stay on the right side of the rules.
