Woolworths is taking another step in its Good Food Journey by reducing the amount of sugar in its chilled 100% fruit juices and nectars. Woolworths' Head of Food Technology Cecil Mitchell says they've removed the equivalent of 20 million teaspoons (approximately 79 tons) of sugar from the juices. This includes the naturally occurring fruit sugars in the concentrates from which the chilled juices are made, as well as the sucrose (table sugar) which is added to nectars, and represents the amount that would have been included in these juices in a year based on average weekly sales. This move follows the reduction in sugar across their entire yoghurt range earlier this year and is in line with World Health Organisation directives as well as Woolworths own commitment to offering better food choices.
