19 Aug 2021 --- UK lobby group Action on Sugar (AoS) is calling for government restrictions on the use of child-friendly packaging and labeling to “stop misleading parents” after discovering high levels of sugar in yogurts targeted at children. New data analysis from AoS, based at the Queen Mary University of London, found only 5 out of 100 “child-friendly” marketed yogurts were rated “low in sugar.” Nearly two-thirds (63 percent) of sampled yogurts exceeded 19 g of added sugars – which is a four to six-year-old’s maximum daily intake – by a third or more.
