The council’s chief executive Geoff Parker, said: “If caffeine is this celebrity chef’s main concern, then we expect Mr Oliver to also be calling for age restrictions on coffee, tea, and even the chocolate in his own decadent desserts."

“By law in Australia, energy drinks must be clearly labeled that they are not suitable for children.”

Jamie isn't alone in his calls to ban the drinks, with the Australian Dental Association, Obesity Coalition and Country Women’s Association also supporting a ban.

The Heart Foundation, Diabetes Australian and Cancer Council Australia also weighed in, and want the products to be taxed heavily to discourage consumption.
