The sugar debate continues to rage in Parliament and the press but what does it
mean for manufacturers of British food and drink?
Some retailers have already delisted added sugar drinks and the NHS has announced plans for new taxes on drinks and snacks in cafes and
vending machines. Could this be the start of targeting both specific
ingredients and
other sectors of the industry?
