Public Health England (PHE) has included a technical report on sweetened fermented (yogurt) drinks (for example yogurt drinks, kefirs, lassies, pre and probiotic drinks), into its sugar reduction programme, which it leads on behalf of government.
These drinks form a sub category to the yogurts and fromage frais category of the sugar reduction programme.
The supplementary report presents the reduction and reformulation ambition and guidelines for fermented (yogurt) drinks, including the analysis of 2017 baseline sugar levels, a maximum calorie guideline for products likely to be consumed in a single occasion and timelines for achieving the ambition.
