Action on Sugar calls for ‘traffic light’ labelling and ban on high-calorie ‘freakshakes’
Some milkshakes sold in high street restaurants and fast food chains – and popular with children – are laden with unacceptably unhealthy amounts of sugar and calories, according to a survey by a health campaign group.
Among them is a “freakshake” – a mashup of drink, dessert and toppings – containing 39 teaspoons of sugar, which is more than six times the recommended daily amount of sugar for a child aged seven to 10, while others contain more than half the daily limit for calories for an adult.
