OBJECTIVE: To investigate the amount of sugars in fruit juices, juice drinks and
smoothies (FJJDS) marketed to children. DESIGN: We surveyed the sugars content
(per 100 ml and standardised 200 ml portion) of all FJJDS sold by seven major UK
supermarkets (supermarket own and branded products). Only products specifically
marketed towards children were included. We excluded sports drinks, iced teas,
sugar-sweetened carbonated drinks and cordials as being not specifically marketed
towards children. RESULTS: We identified 203 fruit juices (n=21), juice drinks
(n=158) and smoothies (n=24) marketed to children. Sugars content ranged from 0
to 16 g/100 ml. The mean sugars content was 7.0 g/100 ml, but among the 100%
fruit juice category, it was 10.7 g/100 ml. Smoothies (13.0 g/100 ml) contained
the highest amounts of sugars and juice drinks (5.6 g/100 ml) contained the
lowest amount. 117 of the 203 FJJDS surveyed would receive a Food Standards
Agency 'red' colour-coded label for sugars per standardised 200 ml serving. Only
63 FJJDS would receive a 'green' colour-coded label. 85 products contained at
least 19 g of sugars-a child's entire maximum daily amount of sugars. 57 products
contained sugar (sucrose), 65 contained non-caloric sweeteners and five contained
both. Seven products contained glucose-fructose syrup. CONCLUSIONS: The sugars
content in FJJDS marketed to children in the UK is unacceptably high.
Manufacturers must stop adding unnecessary sugars and calories to their FJJDS.
