flag UK bans free full-sugar soda refills in restaurants to fight obesity, effective Oct. 1, 2025.

flag New UK regulations banning free full-sugar soda refills in restaurants took effect October 1, 2025, limiting customers to one serving of drinks like Coca-Cola Classic per visit at chains including Nando's and Pizza Hut. flag Unlimited refills are now only available for sugar-free options such as Coke Zero and Diet Coke. flag The policy, part of broader public health efforts to combat rising obesity rates—where around one in four adults and one in five children are affected—aims to reduce sugar consumption. flag While the change aligns with other restrictions on junk food marketing and promotions, it has drawn mixed reactions, with some customers criticizing it as an overreach, while others support the health initiative. flag The rule applies to sit-down dining establishments across England, with businesses complying and informing patrons via signage.
