Fantastic news for sugar reduction - an expansion of the Soft Drinks Industry Levy (SDIL) AND a lower sugar threshold! 🎉 The SDIL has already cut vast levels of sugar out of UK diets and today’s news builds crucially on that progress. 📖 Read full story: tinyurl.com/yhwnhh6p
The SDIL Expansion - quote from Dr Kawther Hashem: "We know the levy works and when the rules are clear and consistent, manufacturers act fast. Today's welcomed announcement builds on that progress, but if we're truly committed to improving the nation's health, and the nation's teeth, we'll need to be even more ambitious"
