This is more than double the level recommended by the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition in its report ‘Carbohydrates and Health’ report published in July 2015 which recommended that the intake of free sugars should not exceed 5% of total dietary energy. The report is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/445503/SACN_Carbohydrates_and_Health.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/445503/SACN_Carbohydrates_and_Health.pdf</a></p><p>The sugars included in the NDNS assessment are those added to food during manufacture or cooking in the form of table sugar, honey or similar products, or released from the cell structure of food during processing, such as the sugars in fruit juice.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 19/10/2017 15:14:07 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
