flag UK to expand sugar tax to 93% of milkshakes by lowering sugar threshold to 4g per 100ml.

flag The UK government plans to extend its sugar tax to 93% of milkshakes and similar packaged drinks, including plant-based versions, by lowering the sugar limit from 5g to 4g per 100ml. flag The change removes the exemption for milk-based drinks, citing minimal nutritional benefit compared to the health risks of excess sugar. flag The tax will apply only to pre-packaged beverages sold in stores, not those made in cafés. flag The measure is part of a wider push to curb childhood obesity, with further details expected in the upcoming Budget.
