  • Reducing sugar by a fifth in cakes and cereals sounds easy. The targets, part of a strategy to combat childhood obesity, seek 20 per cent less sugar in nine food types, including cereals, sweets and spreads. It may sound simple, but the devil is in the detail. For a few categories, cuts are fairly straightforward. In sauces sugar can be removed, and lost volume made up with water. If necessary, low-calorie sweeteners can compensate for flavor changes. Here, Warner discusses the challenges of meeting the UK sugar reduction target.
