Volker Ketzer wrote that the coalition has agreed on a sugar tax, which is to be 26 or 32 cents per liter for heavily sweetened beverages starting in July 2027. Manufacturers with an annual production of less than one million liters of sweetened beverages are exempt from this. He noted that this would treat two beverages with the same sugar content differently, depending on how much the manufacturer produces in total. He described this distinction as noteworthy from a health policy perspective and questioned whether sugar is unhealthy only above a certain production size. #Zuckersteuer #Gesundheit #Ernährung (translated)

A Kiel businessman criticized a sugar tax as pointless and referred to it as theft. As an alternative, he pointed to Chile, where strict labeling for foods with too much fat, sugar, or calories was introduced in 2016. The products received large warning labels on the packaging; additionally, their advertising on children's television and their sale in schools were banned. According to the Kiel businessman, manufacturers subsequently made their products significantly healthier. Within a few years, children and adults became slimmer, and the awareness of healthy eating increased among the population. He advocated for clear labeling instead of a tax and criticized the traffic light system used in Germany as opaque. He cited the influence of the food manufacturers' lobby as the reason for this. #Zuckersteuer #Lebensmittelkennzeichnung #GesundeErnährung (translated)
