Download the Sugar Smart app now to see how much total sugar is in your everyday food and drink. The Change4Life Sugar Smart app is designed to show quickly and easily how much total sugar is in the things you’re buying, eating and drinking, to help you spot it more easily so you can make healthier choices and cut your sugar intake.
The app includes over 87,000 popular food and drink products and is based on the most extensive data available to us. We’re continuously working to improve it and we’re adding more and more products all the time.
Without us realising it, we’re all eating and drinking too much sugar:
• Children aged 4-6 years shouldn’t have more than 19 grams of added sugar per day – that’s 5 cubes*
• Children aged 7-10 years shouldn’t have more than 24 grams of added sugar per day – that’s 6 cubes*
• From 11 years and up, we shouldn’t have more than 30 grams of added sugar per day – that’s 7 cubes*
Let’s start scanning! Just scan the barcode and see how much total sugar it contains**
For hints and tips to cut down on sugar, search Sugar Smart.
*Based on 4 gram sugar cubes
**The number of sugar cubes shown is based on total sugar in grams per pack/100g or ml/portion divided by 4 grams (the weight of one 4 gram sugar cube). Images are a representation only.
