<p>An assessment of changes in sugar levels in drinks covered by the SDIL was included
in PHE’s first report on progress for the Sugar Reduction Programme, published in
May 2018. The report is available to view at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/709008/Sugar_reduction_progress_report.pdf"
target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/709008/Sugar_reduction_progress_report.pdf</a></p><p>This
early assessment showed that sugar had been reduced by 11% per 100ml, and average
calories for drinks likely to be consumed on a single occasion reduced by 6% by retailers
and manufacturers. Data also showed that consumers are buying more drinks that have
sugar levels below the SDIL cut off of 5g per 100ml.</p>
