EU Commission plans to allow claims that sugary drinks and energy drinks containing caffeine boost “alertness” or “concentration” were vetoed by the European Parliament today (Thursday). Displaying these claims on drinks cans would have led to higher sugar consumption among adolescents, who are the largest group of energy drink consumers, MEPs said in their resolution. According to the European Parliament a 250ml can of energy drink can contain up to 27g of sugar and 80mg of caffeine. The Sinn Fein MEP Lynn Boylan says the rules around food labelling need to be improved.
