🚸Place Child-Appealing Packaging on Healthier Cereals and Yogurts
🥣Today we've had a new media story out about breakfast cereals and yogurts and I wanted to share the details with you.
🥣 Despite reductions in sugars from 2015 to 2020, our latest research at Queen Mary University of London, has exposed these products still pack in unnecessary amounts of sugars! Some even contain the equivalent of FOUR teaspoons of sugar (per suggested serving)!
🥣Just NINE cereals, and only SIX yogurts were found to be low in sugars. Nestlé, Lidl, and Aldi topped the list with the highest sugars on average in their cereals and yogurts aimed at kids.
🚸We're calling for the complete removal of child-appealing packaging from products that are high or medium in sugars, salt, or saturated fat.
🚸Let's face it, cute cartoons and vibrant colours shouldn't mask unhealthy choices! While restrictions limit junk food ads during kids' shows, sneaky packaging loopholes still exist. We're calling for vibrant packaging to embrace healthier, low-sugar, and low-salt options. Let's shift the spotlight onto healthier alternatives!
