flag UK plans to expand sugar tax to milkshakes and dairy alternatives, lowering sugar threshold.

flag The UK government plans to extend the sugar tax to milkshakes, sweet treats, and dairy alternatives, including oat and rice-based drinks, which could lead to price increases. flag The Treasury also proposes reducing the sugar limit for taxed drinks from 5g to 4g per 100ml. flag This follows the 2018 introduction of the sugar tax on fizzy drinks, which saw 89% of such drinks avoid the tax due to reformulation. flag The consultation on these plans runs until July 21.
