Original Note:
The UK has defined a way of scoring the healthiness of a food using an NPM score. Sugar, salt and fat increase the score. Fibre, fruit and nuts reduce it. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/restricting-advertising-of-less-healthy-food-or-drink-on-tv-and-online-products-in-scope/restricting-advertising-of-less-healthy-food-or-drink-on-tv-and-online-products-in-scope Plain porridge has an NPM of -1, so is not banned. A chocolate porridge pot is +8, so is. https://www.ucl.ac.uk/health/sites/health/files/appendix_b_-_tv_advertising_of_food_and_drink.pdf
