Action on Sugar is ramping up its calls for the UK Government to use the lessons learnt from the successful UK salt reduction programme to do the same with sugar. The group, set up by the influential body, Consensus Action on Salt and Health (CASH), wants the Government to implement a similar voluntary and unobtrusive reformulation programme for manufacturers to gradually reduce the amount of sugar that is added to foods and setting targets in each food and drink category that has sugar added.
