Soft drink size limit protest sign placed on a delivery truck by New York's Pepsi bottler

The sugary drinks portion cap rule,[1][2] also known as the soda ban,[2] was a proposed limit on soft drink size in New York City intended to prohibit the sale of many sweetened drinks more than 16 fluid ounces (0.47 liters) in volume to have taken effect on March 12, 2013.[3] On June 26, 2014, the New York Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, ruled that the New York City Board of Health, in adopting the regulation, exceeded the scale of its regulatory authority and as such, was repealed.[1][4] The repealed regulation was codified in section 81.53 of the New York City Health Code (title 24 of the Rules of the City of New York).[5]
