Parents and caregivers are likely to buy yoghurts believing they are a healthy option for their children.

But many are high in sugar - our data shows only 13 out of 372 yoghurts at the five main supermarkets were unsweetened.

Our Executive Director Anna Taylor explains more while giving evidence to the  Food, Diet and Obesity Committee. She was giving evidence alongside Fran Bernhardt from Sustain and Kate Jenner from the Obesity Health Alliance.

The committee was set up in January to consider the role of ‘ultra-processed foods’ and foods high in fat, salt and sugar, in a healthy diet and tackling obesity.
