Since January 2017, all the sugar sachets distributed in the cafeteria and restaurant have a smaller quantity. This decrease results from an agreement signed between the Sugar Refiners Association of Portugal, the Industrial and Commercial Association of Coffee, the Association of Hospitality, Catering and Similar of Portugal and the Portuguese Health Authorities. 

The agreement establishes a reduction for each sachet, which will contain between five and six grams of sugar, instead of the current six to eight grams, however, the ideal is to get the maximum amount of sugar in each package is four grams, according to the authorities. The main objective of this agreement is to "signal to all Portuguese" that they should reduce sugar intake in their diet, recalling its effects on insulin production and the contribution to the development of diabetes.
Our Labeling and Regulatory Division can support every company who needs support to align with the new rules.
