According to the British Dietetic Association, adults should not consume more than 30g of free sugars (approximately 7 teaspoons) per day.

Many packaged food and drinks such as breakfast cereals/bars, flavoured yoghurts and fruit juices contain high amounts of sugars. Use the food label to help you avoid foods higher in sugar (i.e. products with more than 22,5g of sugars per 100g).
