I was surprised too, so I took some advice. There isn't a ban nor is it illegal.
While eating and drinking while driving are discouraged in the UK Highway Code, for example, there is no specific legislation making it an offence by itself. As in other countries if doing these things (or any other distracting thing) and an accident results through that, or one is driving demonstrating a distracted manner during such activities then a charge for that may result.
