Morrisons removed hot chocolate and mocha refills due to new UK sugar-reduction laws, allowing only lower-sugar drinks.

Morrisons customers are frustrated after the supermarket removed hot chocolate and mocha from its free hot drink refill program in cafés, a change driven by new UK legislation aimed at reducing obesity by banning unlimited refills and promotions for high-fat, high-salt, and high-sugar beverages. The rule, which applies to supermarkets, retailers, and online sellers, allows free refills only for lower-sugar options like cappuccinos, lattes, and flat whites. The shift follows similar actions by chains like Nando’s, which ended its unlimited Coca-Cola offer. Shoppers have shared social media posts criticizing the loss of a winter perk, though Morrisons confirmed the change complies with the new regulations.
