Morocco’s Consumer Watchdog Urges Ban on Energy Drink Sales to Under-18s

Morocco’s consumer protection observatory is urging authorities to ban the sale of energy drinks to minors due to rising consumption and health risks. Observatory president Hassan Ait Ali pointed out that these drinks, often linked to a dynamic image and sports performance, particularly appeal to youth. International medical research supports that these beverages are inappropriate for children and adolescents due to their high caffeine content.
