FSAS report urges less cakes, biscuits and pastries
[2008-3-28]
The Survey of Sugar Intake Among Children in Scotland concluded that Scottish children, aged three to sixteen, are eating too much sugar and that the main sources included cakes and biscuits, as well as soft drinks and confectionery.
It recommends: "measures need to be taken to reduce the high intake of the mains sources of Non Milk Extrinsic Sugars (NMES) identified in this survey".
NMES are sugars added to food and drink, table sugar and those sugars present in fruit juices.
The report highlights the need for bakery and snacks producers to keep developing healthier alternatives, especially since manufacturers who produce healthier, less sugary alternatives are likely to be looked on more favourably by decision makers.
Health Minister Shona Robinson said: "we are actively working on policies to encourage youngsters to make healthier choices."
