Will a ban on the sale of fast food to Russians under the age of 21 be introduced in 2026?
Volume~$176
YES chance
DescriptionThe medical community and a number of lawmakers have put forward a radical proposal: to treat fast food the same as alcohol and tobacco by banning its sale to people under the age of 21. The authors of the initiative point to the alarming rise in cardiovascular disease among young people. At the same time, they are proposing a “100-meter law”—a ban on shawarma and burger stands operating near educational institutions. Critics of the idea from the business community (FRIO) argue that this will destroy small businesses and food courts, and that young people will simply switch to substitutes. The forecast examines whether this initiative will progress from the discussion stage to becoming a federal law by the end of 2026.
ConditionsYes: if, on or before December 31, 2026, a federal law restricting the sale of fast food to individuals under the age of 18 or 21 is officially enacted (signed by the President) in the Russian Federation.
No: if such a law is not adopted by the end of 2026 (the bill remains in the draft stage, is rejected, or does not address age restrictions).
