More information

The data collection includes all milk-based drinks with a minimum milk content of 50% and 10g/100ml or more of sugar.

The scheme requires NHS trusts to sign-up to commit to reducing their SSB sales to less than 10% of total beverage sales and to evidence this by reporting quarterly data back to NHS England as part of this.
