alt Hacker NewsWell I didn't understand how -besides the cereals maybe- are unhealthy
> Breakfast cereals including ready-to-eat cereals, granola, muesli, porridge oats and other oat-based cereals.
until I re-read and saw this:
> But the new restrictions will not apply to healthier options such as natural porridge oats and unsweetened yoghurt.
So I think it's not clear in the first sentence but "ready-to-eat" is meant to apply to all the items in the list and not just the cereals.

It's very strange they say porridge oats are banned, then go on saying "natural porridge oats" are not.
In my mind porridge oats are natural and you don't have to say that. If you have something else you need to say so.
There's a lot of misinformation going around about how the legislation works.
All porridge oats are "in scope" of the regulation, which means they need to be scored using the "Nutrient Profile Model" score before being advertised.
The result is that porridge oats are not banned, but golden syrup instant porridge oats will be.
Here's the scoring model: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-nutrient-prof...
Its the cereal industry being bastards again.
Breakfast cereals contain a colossal amount of sugar, and are a great way to keep your diabetes on its toes. They haven't been healthy for years, moreover the toys they put in them have been shit as well.
