On January 1, 2024, an amendment to the Public Health Act entered into force, revolutionizing the energy drinks market in Poland.
The Act introduces a number of restrictions on the sale of energy drinks, understood as "a product in the form of a drink that is a foodstuff, included in the Polish Classification of Products and Services in class 10.89 and in Chapter 11, which contains caffeine in a proportion exceeding 150 mg/l or taurine, excluding naturally occurring substances”.
The main novelty is the ban on selling such products:
- to persons under the age of 18;
- on the premises of the units of the education system and
- in vending machines and the obligation to mark such products with the information “Napój energetyzujący” or „Napój energetyczny” (ENG: "Energy drink").
Together with the above rules, the Act introduces penal sanctions for their violation.
