Children may be at risk of regularly maxing out their daily allotted sugar limits by being allowed cakes and biscuits in and out of school, warns a new UK report by Action on Sugar. The advocacy group’s survey of individually packaged or portioned sweet snacks reveals that a typical combination — such as a cake, chocolate bar and one or two biscuits consumed over the course of a day — can pack 1,326 calories and 92.5 grams of sugar.
